Name of Builder____________________________
 
Date of Completion _________________________
 
Hull Serial Number _________________________
 
Hull Color___________ Deck Color____________
 
Bare hull weight at factory as standard boat:    2450 lbs.   Min._________
 
Racing weight with lifting straps, running rigging, standing

Section 2       Keel and Rudder
 
Keel: With a C26CA approved trapezoid, mark the keel forward (A-2) and aft (A-1) edges. 
Using the Class approved template, position around the keel at these marks.  The ends should just come together.  If there is play, then the keel shall be filled to this minimum design shape.  Shape shall be consistent in the vertical plane fore and aft.   From the aft edge measure down thirty-five inches and mark the keel. This will be A-3. From A-1 and A-3 measure to intersection of transom and hull just to one side of the rudder.  This is HDP (Hull Data Point)
