Trial Certificates

Also see Trial Certificate Policy

Running a trial certificate allows you to see what the rating effect would be if you made proposed changes to the yacht, rig or sails.  Any number of changes can be made on each trial certificate.  Trial certificates are NOT valid for racing : if you decide to implement the change you will need to apply for an amended certificate. 

We reserve the right to refuse to run trial certificates if we feel that an attempt is being made to take advantage of the Rule.

Please make sure you give full details of the proposed changes, to avoid any misunderstandings.

If your certificate is Endorsed and you decide to go ahead with the amendment, we will usually require official verification of the new measurements. For instance, if you are having new sails it will save time if you ask the sailmaker to let you (or us) have the new measurements in writing.  In other cases we may require a measurer to check new measurements.
