CSA Rating Rule
Boats are handicapped using the Caribbean Sailing Association's Rating Rule. This rule is designed and administered by the CSA and its measurers in participating territories throughout the region. Each year boats must update their certificates, a process that costs USD $25.00 plus $1.00/ft for the on-line certificate validation. In addition, boats must undergo a complete measurement every 5 years, or sooner if changes are made to the boat that will affect its rating. For a complete measurement of a yacht, the fee is US $ 4.00 per ft of LOA, plus US $1.00/ft of LOA (the current cost of CSA on-line certificate validation), with a minimum fee of US$100.00 plus the cost of CSA on-line certificate validation. In Barbados, the CSA qualified measurer is Renata Goodridge.
