To take the load off the race committee (who want to race!) it is good to have volunteers to do the measuring and it is only fair that these can claim some expenses. It does seem a bit much to have on-water scrutineering for the week. It may be a championship but for most people it is a holiday too. I would hope that we can all sail in good fair (holiday) spirit as we mostly do! Steve – this is not the Enterprise fleet!
