Topic : Sails measurement at Penzance

I have a main and jib for Poached Salmon that need measuring for the Nationals. Is there a kind soul who is willing to measure the sails on Saturday?

I am planning to arrive around lunchtime on Saturday,

Thanks in anticipation.

Scrutineering will be on Saturday 10ish to 6ish.
boats dry, free of removable rigging, eg boom and main sheet (can be held up away from boat), jib sheet, spinnaker sheet.

Weight may be required to be put in. None taken out.

Chris Martin and Steve Watson will not be available to measure sails on Saturday during this period.

I ummmed and arghhhhhed for a long time on whether there should be a formal sail measurement facility at the Champs (for a fee of course) but ran out of measurers. Steve and Chris will be rather occupied and should not be disturbed ... I am sure there is an awful pun there somewhere.

Sail measurers please make yourself known and we can make the introductions ....

See you Saturday.

Ideally would be good for sails to be measured beforehand so measurers don't get swamped. I'm fine to do some measuring on Saturday, however I am intending to go out for a practice sail!!

Have you seen the forecast????? There will be no rescue cover on Saturday (as far as I am aware), so you'll have to rely on the RNLI!!!

Thanks for all of the replies. Thanks Ross, I only received the sails last Friday so unfortunately time was against me. I will look out for you in the Dinghy park and hope you will have time to measure the sails, it would be much appreciated. If there is anyone else who has more time please still get in touch.
