Measurement process
Posted: 29 Aug 2006, 18:59
Just a few questions about having my IOM measured
I don't have access to a float tank. So, as far as I can tell I think I'm within the 420mm draft, but if during measuring it's found to be say 1mm over, am I allowed time to file 1mm off the top of the fin so it reduces the draft? Or will this be at the discression of the measurer?
Likewise if I find that my scales at home are over reading, can I add weight to bring it up to 4kg there and then?
Also I have a bung that sticks out of the transom (about 5mm, but over the 1000mm loa) just for drainage when I'm club sailing....my intention is to just cover this with tape when it's measured...is there any thing against doing this?
I realise this might open a can of worms, but we don't have a measurer in my club
Many thanks
