<p>Question 9:</p><p> The following question was previously posted on the class website and has been considered by the Technical Officer 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 (as it is a rule of Part II, While 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 rules (Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions) make provision for event equipment inspection which will specify how and when random crew weighing will be conducted. The class standard is to select 3 boats at random (using the CMS to generate boats at random) after racing is finished and these boats will be notified and given 1 hour to present their 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.
