Rationale for the calculation edit
I have tried researching and failed to find the rationale for the calculation. This article would benefit from (eg) a naval architect's expert commentary

Bad refs edit
I removed the following ref, beause it points to a copy of a Wikipedia article, and we can't cite ourselves as a source:

This Ref provides historical bacground on the Yacht Rule, and later evolution.

Length? edit
Moved the following comment from the article:
- These sources do not explain whether "length" is "length overall" or "waterline length". The units for length and beam are unspecified, but are assumed to be feet since the Ton itself is an Imperial unit and the yard is not used in ship dimensions.
Brewer's article covers this; stem to stern. — Johan the Ghost seance 15:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
When introduced? edit
When was Thames Measurement introduced? --Badger151 (talk) 23:44, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Odd issues only visible by some users edit
Please see File:Screen shot of Thames Measurement page.png, which shows the probem. I have just reverted to 'get rid' of the problem. The syntax is beyond my skill and the editor who introduced the error by accident cannot see it on their machine. Fiddle Faddle 14:19, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
