This section, updated regularly, include questions, the most frequently asked questions to the commission gauge.

 Should I measure my boat? It's a Pogo or Akilaria and I thought that these boats were all identical.
To obtain a class certificate, you must have your boat measured. The boat must also be weighed and have a stability test performed.

 We will be launching a new class40 in the coming months and we would like to measure the boat for the Class40 once it is launched. What is the budget requested by the association to carry out these measures?
The costs for the measurement of your boat are the responsibility of the owner. Measurement should be carried out after a class number assigned. The Class association charges a fee of 300 € that is part of the costs charged when a class number is awarded. The owner of the boat will also be responsible for other related costs, including paying the measurer as well as paying for the boat to be weighed and the righting test to be performed.

 What are the limits for carbon equipment / hardware that can be used on my class40?
Carbon is allowed in all equipment / hardware except for the winches (Class40 Rules 407). Hulls, decks and spars have their own limitations and restrictions on the use of carbon, as noted in the Class Rules.

 What is the position of the class on the use of a code 0 or gennaker?
The position of the Class 40 is that the architects and skippers can do as they wish with regard to code 0's and gennakers, so long as all other aspects of their program and boat remain in good standing with the Class Rules.
