Patrick Thanks for the information and welcome to the 5000 association. The class seems to be growing again, which is great news. Skiff sailing is certainly ...
Patrick, I suspect they are using a local type of yardstick system. As Andy suggests, perhaps you should go to the RYA site to compare the yardstick for a...
