J-24 World Championship - measurement days

The measuement process in J-24 Class means you have to measure the keel profile. First year here in Malmö it was decided to check the amount of lead in the keel with metal detector.
One boat was sent home as it was manipulated in the keel. Another boat owner had laminated lead in the the bottom stiffeners. Both were rejected. Mary Anne Jardine and Carl-Henrik Oskarsson at the measurement station. The couple Stuart and Mary Anne Jardine had a fantastic routine in the measurement procedures. Great Help from Brittain.
The empty weight is also measured. First day the crane was stuck due to a mistake from one of the crews in Grynet. Shit happened the best. Our young sailors did a great job in working over the weekend.
Friday and the line up started to become a mess and Gösta Wiik had to use some straight forward wordings to get order. Gösta Wiik who was in charge of the measurement process from Malmö Segel Sällskap point of view had a great help in Krister Ahlkvist.
Gransegel, the sailmaker in Malmö, let us use their loft. This helped a lot and Mattias, one of the sailmakers, made a great job in correcting sails.
Gabor from Hungary was excellent keeping control of the standing rigging.
Saturday gave us a terrible weather with thunderstorm and a really stady rain.
