Per class rules, all the boats must be measured for the certificate of compliance with the rules. What day will this happen? I didn't see it on the NOR. I'd like to be there.
Every boat should have a measurement certificate to show upon request. The regatta organizer do not have to ask for them or verifying them by measuring the boats. They could, but they don't have to.
Of course if a competitor suspects any boat to be outside the rules he could protest, in which case the measurement certificate must be produced and re-measurement could occurs (The cost of this measurement, if any, is usually paid by the protestor if the boat is compliant and by the protestee if the boat is not).
So unless there is a measurement protest, there is usually no reason to show certificates.
Talking about measurement certificate, it is interesting to notice that there is no SCHRS handicap for N17 as the SCHRS is calculated based on a measurement certificate and none have been communicated to the SCHRS group for this particular boat. I'm just saying...
