PJ goes a measuring PJ had a trip out to Bournville to witness Geoff Raygada's six metre hulls being measured, the premis was that he could glean as much information about what we need to do for the Gabriela & Monica Romanzas. The whole trip was well worth it & Bill Green was most helpful in giving us information which will aid us with our builds, PJ took a number of pictures whilst Bill was going about his tasks and these have been collated into a brief pictoral guide into what happens at measuring, hopefully this will be helpfull to all you prospective builders out there. Geoff Raygada had this to say ......... thanks to Bill and Peter for a very interesting but freezing day out. I certainly learned a lot about 6M's , even if it was the hard way! To be honest the few jobs required to get them both to measure were quite simple, 10 mm off the top of the rudder to keep it below the waterline and the sail trimming required to make Bad Moon legal were very easy and I was lucky that I did not have to move the sail numbers , although it looks slightly odd as the number now touches the leech. They were stuck like sh... to a blanket and would have been a real pain to change. The jib trimming and new eyelets were no problem either.
