For those of you at OSYC working on the O 20 Class development today and all other N 20 owners hoping to form a fresh approach to your Class and DPN Racing...

A NEMA 4 Enclosure rated at 2000 +/- 2% from Mc Master, part number 1820T11 will cost $1,264. 91 plus shipping. The load cell could be stored at Schurr Sails (three blocks from the hoist at Pensacola Yacht Club).

Set a minimal fee for the weight declaration and sail plan declarations to be certified with a formal O 20 measurement certificate (an ISAF future will be sooner yours).

Listen to Steve Green and include the Texel system in your research.

These scales can be rented for use by other Classes for measurement as well for their major USA Championships to cover costs down the road.

Charge for the measurement certificate (minimal) and incorporate modest Class dues in order to sustain Class growth and networking (web site etc). I just spent eight days with the Thistle Class, and they are going into their fourth generation of family sailing. Study the Class by - laws and constitution of the Thistle Class. You just might achieve ISAF Formula status sooner than you think.
