Your ISAF Measurer question is good; I don't know the answer.

"Certified Ratings" will have enough production to matter. Normal procedures, real class rules, real measured weights, ... Class Rules need to specify all the factors required in the formula, same for Texel and SCHRS.

The F18 rules are ISAF protocol: platform weight, sailing weight, sail.specs, crew weight metrics, mast circumference, ...

Provisional Ratings (Texel or SCHRS) may be issued by local rating volunteers, or assigned by the Race Organizer if required (ie: spin size change).

Some people weigh their boats. Some One-Design boats are heavier than the manufacturer's weight and others in the class. I suggest those overweight boats deserve and get a rating credit (Texel/SCHRS), but defer to what the sailors think is fair.
