MEASUREMENT ISSUES :

In House Certification

In order to promote Formula 18 in new countries and to both facilitate the owners task and to certify the control of each delivered boat, an In House Certification process is getting studied in the F18 class, under ISAF regulations.

This should provide, subject a procedure to be established between manufacturers, appointed measurers and National Authorities, a good solution to deliver certified boats and sails everywhere, and to maintain fair sailing.

Any manufacturer (boats or sails) interested by such a procedure is kindly asked to contact the World Council at : postmaster@F18-International.org
