Mike, One good thing is that all the boats we have racing (except for my 18-2) are already in the SCHRS boat list: https://schrs.com/ratings.php I will have to get my 18-2 measured, which I have been in contact with Will already about that. If we know of any outliers that need to be measured and weighed, I have access to a digital scale. I have already weighed the 18-2 for grins.
I think the way for the organization to cover themselves on a rogue boat is have it stated that the organization/PRO will issue a temporary rating based on the most conservative measurements. The template is very easy to use for those boats that have modified sail plans. This can be done at the beginning of the year. And, once it is done, we won't have to worry about it until someone buys a new sail. With that, the org can do what we do with PHRF is the owner is responsible for submitting certified sail dimensions. I have this for my sails on my 18-2. There are a handful of boats that have square tops and/or larger jibs. I can have these boats measured in a couple of hours. The big question is will boats with a modification (square top) be allowed to have a temporary SCHRS cert, or will it be required to have a full blown certificate? I have asked about being certified. Initially, it is too much work for just Will to certify boats. What if someone comes to the regatta late and doesn't have a full certificate? If you look at the fleet racing, they are older boats that have some modifications (mainly more sail area) and many of them are racing non-spinnaker.
