Adelaide – 6
Somerton – 3
BSYC – 30There are another two clubs with active fleets (excluding Port Pirie and Wallaroo)
Port River – 5
Victor Harbor – 10cheers
– GregIn light of the recent vote at the special general meeting, we’ve decided that we won’t be weighing boats during the measurement and registration days at the championships this year.
We’ve updated the South Australian page to reflect this decision.
We were never looking to identify and publish the weight of each boat, it was simply a step during the registration process that would occur concurrently with foils and sails.
We’ll provide a facility if you want to weigh your boat and it will be completely voluntary.

President SSASAThat is correct, all boats will be weighed before the championships.
Hulls will be weighed on certified scales provided and verified by one of the regatta sponsors.
This has been considered after consultation with the national measurer who provided the guidance on what is included in the minimum weight. We have printed this advice on page 2 of the SA August newsletter and will be providing the same to competitors leading up to the championships.
Hull weight is one of the measurements that is rarely checked over the lifetime of a hull and has a crucial role to play in overall performance. For this reason we have included hull weight in the measurement process before the titles begin.

President SSASAThe last batch sold out before I had them made so I’m about to have another batch made.
These are what they look like when fitted.
If you’re interested in a set or one end only (ie. mast foot) , please drop me a line.
