IRC Measurement

2 November 2015

This past Saturday three ABYC boats Nemisis, Wallbanger and Malgas (hopefully Chinook and Adamo will follow) who will participate in the 2016 IRC Nationals in the bay where forced to show their “weapons of Choice” by having their sails measured by newly encumbered IRC measurer Tony Bailes.

Every measurement was photographed as reference.

Normal ABYC bantering prevailed throughout the process – the Cullum Father & Son (Malgas) team had to console each other regularly, all in good fun.

IRC Measuring – Did we have to bring Granny’s Bloomers as well?

Good thing that the Dinghy sailors were taking part in the RYC 24 Hour Sailing Challenge on the North End Lake which freed up the grassed area for the ‘bloomers’ to be measured!
