2010 NAF18 Championship Measurement Cert Requirement - 01/06/10 03:13 PM
IS REAL!
The final redlines have been submitted to the Organizing Authority for the 2010 NAF18 Championship and the measurement certification requirement is part of the NOR. If you plan on competing in 2010 NAF18 Championship and you are presented with the opportunity to get your boat measured you should take it. We can only process a few boats at the event and those teams will be required to make an appointment prior to showing up. Please do not to show up to the championship without a measurement certificate you may find yourself in a very unpleasant situation.
Please DO NOT use the lack of scales as an excuse to not get your boat measured. The bulk of the time spent on measuring boats is consumed by measuring sails and the platform which does not require the use of the scales. The scales are used for rudder, dagger board, platform and ready to sail weights and that takes about 10 - 15 minutes when well organized.
Measuring a boat is NOT rocket science it just takes a little time. I encourage you to set up a measurement party or two with your fellow competitors and get the bulk of the measurement certificate completed.
You are not allowed to measure your own boat, if you do start measuring boats please add your name to the list of measures on the NAF18 site. There is no special certification requirement for class measures at this time, so… just do it!
Special note to the Southern CA, Pac Northwest, FL/GA and Midwest teams, you have some very willing and able measures in your respective areas so any excuse not to get your boat measured will be a very tough sell.
ALL boats are required to have a measurement cert at nationals and that includes our Canadian friends.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly my email is in my profile and I’m extremely responsive.
You have eight months to get it done!
