I have been responsible for measuring boats at major regattas for years. I have relied on a set of measurement tools produced years ago, and make many of the same measurements each year, with only minor variation.
This has certainly been way short of the "complete" Specification measurement that some people feel should be performed at the conclusion of a regatta.
I would like to improve measurement at the major NA regattas. To do this will require a Measurement Committee with some dedicated volunteers. With some judicious planning, a little practice, and enough volunteers, the measurement process could be quite painless, maybe even fun!
If anyone is willing to commit some precious regatta time to helping out with this important task please email me to discuss how we can collaborate (
