Can you really have the 25mm extension if it adds to the waterline length?
In RULE I (a), it seems to say that anything that has the effect of
lengthening the waterline length would be illegal, 25mm fitting or not. See
below: "No fittings or equipment..."

for referrence:
Rule 1 Length of hull and fittings
(a) The overall length of the hull shall not exceed 4267mm including stem
band but excluding all the rudder fittings, transom flaps, drain plugs and
stem fittings.
Stem fittings shall not project more than 25 mm beyond the surface of the
hull. No fittings or equipment which have the effect of elongating the skin
of the boat beyond a length of 4267mm is permitted.
