Buoyancy Signature
Who is authorised to sign the buoyancy section on the certificate?. I had to get a replacement Measurement Cert from the RYA, no problem but do I need a real RYA hull or Class measurer? I have an ISAF sail measurer at the Club but no hull measurers. The boat is 100% sound and at least 2 tanks are air tight the third virtually so. No water ingress at all in last capsize,
Boat unchanged effectively and still with 1Kg original corrector. The original measurer retired from measuring after doing my boat in 2010. Pity I mislaid the original, I had it for hayling in 23.
My last understanding was the Club Class captain could undertake this annual duty. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Ian. I was aware of the rule, but had it suggested awhile back that self certify (as we used to) was not good enough - if it is OK to get the Fleet captain for example, to verify (signature), that's fine. I would not in any way endorse an unsafe boat btw, just would not feel safe.
I hope I'm pretty sharp on water getting in the tanks. A weird one on one previous boat was rain water getting in via the shroud fixing slot = where the hull deck joint is. Dried it out and epoxied, end of leak. Weird one to chase down as almost nothing ever got in when capsized, just when left for weeks in the dinghy park!.
