The OFFICIAL F16 measurement form will be available in the next week or so. It has been finalised by the Governing Council and the measurer's guidance notes are currently being prepared. I would like the form to be available for download from the F16 website - Paul?

The guidance notes and the Excel spreadsheet for measurers will only be available to appointed measurers.

In the UK, Simon Longstaff (Scooby_Simon), will be the measurer and will be receiving his forms and notes shortly. He and the other measurers, when appointed, will need to devise a scale of fees for measurement ranging from sails only through to a full boat measurement and certification. The class fees for certification and registration have yet to be set (at the AGM in August). Those boats that are mesured in this year will undoubtedly benefit from the present loose structure.

In Holland, Piet Saarberg, Chief Measurer to the F16 class will deal with mesurement and will also rule on queries from National Measurers.

I would recommend that all F16s get measured as soon as an option is available in their home State/Country. If you wait until the Global Challenge you'll need to contact Piet well in advance and be prepared to arrive early. I am not able to rule on whether boats could be dispensated to race pending measurement during the Championship week but I guess it is something that could be considered by the Council if there is a general consensus on this forum....
