Marina measurement

[Rum_Pirate]

When Marina's charge, they try and take everything into account

I know that they take bowsprits into the measurement, BUT do they also include the measurement of the length of the boom hanging over the stern?

"Welcome to the crew young man. As you are new we will only give you one job, which is to be in charge of putting reef knots in the reefing points toward the outer end of the mainsail. Just as and when they are needed. Good luck"

Putting the sail cover on at the outer end of the boom is not so great either.

I belive that is why they ask for LOA.

i know a well known marina that would measure ALL extremities and charge accordingly. Their argument being that you take up space with ALL overhangs etc.

A friend of mine left them when they refused to re-measure his boat after he removed the anchor hanging over bow roller. That anchor had tripped him into next charge bracket - even though for years he'd been charged at lower correct rate.
