The fees received by the measurer are to cover his/her time in completing the necessary tasks.  The fees paid to the CSA directly are used to pay for programming and server fees to ensure the database is functional along with costs necessary to support measurers meetings and also promotion of the rule and the CSA.

Membership fees create a small amount of revenue for the CSA overall which along with boat measurement fees allow the organization to sustain the rule as well as support sailing development around the region.
