<p> The following question was previously posted on the class website and has been considered by the class measurer ahead of posting to CMS. </p> <p>Can the crew be weighed at any time during a regatta? </p>
Yes.
Class rule C.2.2 (table) limits the crew weight which must be complied with at all times whilst racing. Class rule C.2.2(b) makes reference to events having random crew weighing which is envisaged to take place during class events.
Event instructions (Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions) make provision for equipment inspection which will specify how and when random crew weighing will be conducted. The class standard is to select 3 boats at random after racing is finished and these boats will be notified and given 1 hour to present the crew for weighing in accordance with class rule C.2.2(b). As boats are selected randomly, the same boat may be selected more than once during a regatta.
