Gary, What happend to Abington Park fleet. I must have printed 30 sets of sail numbers and Boat names for them.

Sorry for the terrible picture of my Venom, as you can see the mystery boat is not a Venom

I know nothing about the TX8 or the Deviation software it uses but on my TX16S that I used to use for aircraft I did get a lot of RSSI warnings. people say to do a range check and if all is well turn off the warnings. Hence why I have changed to ExpressLRS and no longer use the 4in1 module for much better range. Do you have to tune a TX8 to the reciever? on some protocols you do with a TX16S. As you are using a boat and not an aircraft I would range check to your max sailing distance plus some and if all still working turn the warnings off. If you actually loose signal, perhaps time to treat yourself to a new radio.

I have entered Rob.

I am guessing that there is no hull number and the 36 on the sails is just a random number. But may still be worth contacting Bill Green.

Not sure that receiver will work with a DX9 as I think it is for the surface transmitters. I too use a DX9 and yes I did have the same problem as you until I placed the receiver just under the hatch lid. I have seen people mount a receiver under a deck patch if on a carbon boat.

If you have a 3d printer or one of your clubmates does then follow link for a set of files. They will need to be re-scaled for a DF65 but that is a simple task in Cura or the like. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3783899

Gareth What was the advice on ballast set up please.

Shaun, perhaps they got handed out at PRACC 1 or 2?

Why not put a well reasoned and workable proposal together and submit it at the next AGM.

If the sails do not measure then what is the problem? I would rather have a clubmate tell me than to have time off work and drive miles for the same outcome.

I can’t believe you have no measurers in the Huntingdon club. Get a couple of members to do the course, problem solved. or contact 0ne of the two measurers at Two Islands. take a trip over on a race day and get your sails measured before or after racing. 33% of the active skippers at Lee Valley club can measure sails. Final option You have a member of Huntingdon that sails at Lee Valley most Sundays. You could arrange for your sails to be sent down, measured, and brought back.

As a newly certified sail measurer I do not think you can use just the checklist to verify if the new hull measures the same as its predecessor. It would need to undergo a complete remeasure to achieve a new certificate with a new registration number, in fact the linked check form that you quote only has a measurement for the deck limit mark and the minimum size of the front bumper? Anyway Nigel has given the answer. “A.8.3 Each hull shall have the certification authority’s national letters and sequentially issued unique registration number. Under no circumstances may a registration number be used on a hull other than the hull on which it was first used.”

Plenty of work for the registrar and class measurers coming up then.
