We are going to 'assembly line' the measurement process in that there will be 2 participants shuttling boats to the gin pole area and back from the crane, 2 pulling and reinserting masts for measurements and two working the crane for weighing. Skippers will not be responsible for their own boat from end to end but will take a part of the assembly line process. We believe that this will make the process far more efficient and much less of an overall burden on everybody.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>All boats registered must be at least weighed. Some boats, as Ernest has indicated, do not need measurements in other ways (there will be more officially in another email on that matter).

We are ultimately expecting to do about 5-6 boats per measurement session and have about 26 to do so it will be busy! If you miss those dates, or don't provide any assistance for the measurement of your boat, then the measurement service will NOT be considered part of your registration fee.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Those of you with boats that are not at WYC (e.g. #25, 69 and 822), please check with Steve Bren to see if there is some way that you can keep your boat at a slip for the day/night that you are being measured in case an oppotunistic time slot opens up.
