Measurement & Inspection

Every Melges 24 must have a valid measurement certificate (MC).

According to the Melges 24 Class Rules (A.11 HULL CERTIFICATION ) and RRS 2021-2024 (78 COMPLIANCE WITH CLASS RULES; CERTIFICATES) MC is the one piece of documentation that validates Melges 24 boat legal to race. 

A Measurement Certificate must:
- Be issued in the name of the Current Owner (not the past owner)
- Be endorsed or issued by National Authority of the Current Boat’s Owner

- The certificate is signed by the Current Owner

NOTE: An unendorsed Measurement Form is not a valid certificate.

Measurement certificates are required for all National Championships, Intercontinental and World Championship events.

See the template below!

For questions regarding and/or assistance with Measurement Certificates you need to apply for that for from your National Class Administrator
