  1. Why not put a well reasoned and workable proposal together and submit it at the next AGM.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.”
  5. Plenty of work for the registrar and class measurers coming up then.
  6. I have my own sail number. I was thinking of all the others that now sail printed boats.
  7. What happens with all the DF boats with split hulls do they keep the same numbers. Yes I know they are not an MYA class and have their own rules.
  8. I was just thinking if the Alioth hull degrades or breaks over a year or two and the hull needs to be replaced. Once done and re measured could that hull use the original hulls number or would you have to apply for a new number before measuring as a completely new boat. With the extra messing about of having to change sail numbers.
  9. David, it is not as simple as that. You will need to know the weight required. What is it to go on, long and thin, short and wide, winged etc. I have a raw two part ballast that weighs approx. 10kg along the lines of a Frank Russel design. That I may part with, but I am miles away from you.

    Rule change

    I have just noticed this on the January council news "6M class rules to allow older boats to be made competitive in the fleet" What are the details for this please.
  11. Sunday 12th May is a very busy day for the big boats. Shearwater Trophy for 6m Midland District round 2 for 6m Pracc 4 for A Class
  12. How are you getting on with the shirt production Damian.
  13. I used to make these, but it became non viable once all cost of materials started to soar. Quite willing to let you have dimensions and where to purchase parts. I can still 3d print the cradles.
  14. Reporting Committee – Racing Rules Other Committee – (World Sailing use only) Submission: 057-23 Racing Rules of Sailing RRS E2.4 A submission from the Croatian Sailing Federation Purpose or Objective Rule not necessary. Proposal E2.4 Transmitter Aerials If a transmitter aerial is longer than 200mm when extended, the extremity shall be adequately protected. Current Position As above. Reasons Transmitter aerials longer then 200 mm do not exist anymore. They most certainly do, at last weekends A Class Nationals one skipper was using a non 2.4 radio with a nice foam ball on the end. the ball to me was more of a visual indicator to the long aerial than a safety feature.
