The issue is not about the absolute values of the weight (other then that my boat is indeed compliant)

The issue is about whether an incomplete measurement form (with not all fields being filled in) is legitimate. In my case the field reserved for specifying the ready-to-sail weight is left open. If it had said "compliant" then yes the situation would have been better but it doesn't.

In my opinion there is no good argument in maintaining this situation.

Either the Chief measurer himself intentionally supplied me with an incomplete and invalid measurent form. (maintaining his stance when made aware of this)

Or the class will now accept incomplete measurement forms as being valid and thus open a can of worms for the long term.



I feel we should only consider COMPLETE measurement forms as being valid and indeed this also seems to be the spirit of the F16 class rules such as suggested by the wording of say rule 3.2.4
