Bor went under the scrutiny of the Measurer today. I had prep'd the boat so as for the weight I knew she would be in the right field, I just had to add 7 grams of lead up the B rigs mast to bring it up to 308 grams which is the same weight as the A rig. The hull required another 124 grams of lead ballast which was positioned just behind the CB. The rigs were measured last year so a quick check of the deck to lower band was all that was required there. Now the interesting bit, the water tank. This is the bit where I can get a proper understanding of my design (some would say guess but I prefer experiment!)
I was very pleased to see that along with the right weight I had also produced a hull which was exactly 1m long with an overall draft of 408mm, the hull draft being around 38mm. So now I have the relevant paperwork to post off in order to receive a Measurement Certificate which will allow me access to Open Events with this latest creation!
That was close!
