The Soling incident isn't the first measurement problem the United States has dealt with this week. American 470 sailors Morgan Reeser and Kevin Burnham had to scramble to find another boat when they realized their personal boat wouldn't pass inspection due to some work done on the bottom of the hull. They wound up borrowing another boat, which then passed. It's been quite a chore getting all three measured boats through so far,'' Shore said. And the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games is dealing with its own measurement problem.
Competitors are now able to use their own personal daggerboards, as long as they pass measurement.
