Finnsters,
If anyone is interested in
having their boat Reweighed/Lamboley, I will adjust schedule, please let me
know ASAP.
The following Finnsters
requested Reweighing/Lamboley
The plan is to measure 4 to
5 boats per day, measurements willl start April 28th, but could possibly start
on the 27th, two (2) boats will be measured in the morning and two (2) or three
(3) in the afternoon. Measurements could take up to 1.5 hrs per boat. If
required, centerboard may be weighed.
Prior to
Reweighing/Lamboley at Encinal Y.C, all sailors will have their boats ready for
measurement:
1. Have your boat on your dollie, Leave trailer in Encinal parking lot. Check
with Peter A.,Holger or myself.
2. Bring your measurement certificate.
3. Boat will be in a dry
condition: painter, mainsheet, paddle, bailing bucket,rudder,
boom and mast shall be removed from boat prior to re-weighing.
4. If deck ring, mast step
and centerboard pin is movable, they shall be in their maximum aft positions.
The centerboard shall be raised so that its lower corner is level with the
underneath of the hull (keel bands excluded) (I suggest
that you mark your deck ring, mast step and centerboard bolt positions).
4. Mark location of
corrector weights prior to removal from Station 0(Stern), leave corrector
weights in position where removed (mark position on weights with a Sharpie,
therefore, ` distance from station 0 in mm). (Corrector weight removal: recommend heating a spatula, then
pry out. (Andy Casey used this technique at
5. If adding digital
compass, Remove old Compass (weight check}, leave in
boat.
The cost for measurements
per boat is $100.00 to help with expenses and additional monies over expenses
will go to USAFA. Depending on how calibration goes, we could start
on Monday so 5 more slots would be available. Peter and I are here as
measurers and to optimize your boats to the new weight requirment.
