Fair and Competitive Racing: Boat Weigh-In & Measurement Checks
As always, to ensure a level playing field at this year’s event, we will be conducting the required weigh-in and sail measurement checks:
-
Boat Weight: Boats will be weighed in their entirety to meet the F18 class minimum weight requirement of 180kg. There will be no individual component weigh-ins during registration.
-
Sail Stickers: Measurement stickers on sails will be validated during registration.
-
Crew Weight: Crew will be weighed to meet the F18 class requirements.
These measures reflect our commitment to fair competition and are designed to address past concerns. Please prepare your boat accordingly.
