PNW Class Certificates
We will be weighing boats and giving official
1999 Class Certificates (weight, keel etc --
all class requirements) to any Seattle-Tacoma
boat that wants to be measured in
at the Shilshole North Hoist on
Saturday, May 13th from 10AM to 2PM,
or longer if necessary.
For all class requirements, please consult
the 1998 Constitution and the 1999 Amenments
as shown on the PNW Olson 30 web site.

Boats going to the Nationals are expected to have Certificates.
If there are any out-of-town boats that
wish to be measured in, we may be able
to do a few of them the morning of
Monday May 22d following SOCKS. All
Seattle-Tacoma boats should come on May 13th.
Boats will be weighed with all class-required
equipment and permanently installed equipment
as per the instructions for the 1998 weigh-in
(see below).
Please let me know if you want your boat weighed and Certificated so we can schedule it. Volunteers to help with this would also be appreciated.
Thanks.
