Hello all,
I am looking to buy a J24 and I have a question about getting it measured. One of the boats that I have found seems like a nice boat thats been well maintained but it's only been PHRF raced and never been measured. The boat has had the verm removed, and the seller said that "The Keel sump re-fibreglassed with reinforced floor beams in 1995" does this sound legal? My previous boat was a Thunderbird and any "reinforcement" was a big no no.
What are common things that people do that are not 1D legal? Is there anything that I should be on the look out for that could make it not legal? I glanced over the rule book and the thing that I am most afraid of is weighing the boat. Is there a quick way to guess the weight, like a measurement point to the water line just to get a idea of how much she weighs?
Thanks,
Reed
