Radio Sailing and Lightning
The controlling organization for one of our venues wants us to have some direction about how everyone will be instructed to deal with potential lightning strikes. RRS 32 generally covers this but nothing specific. My guess is that we are not the first to have this requirement so I'm looking for some...

Re: 2016 IOMICA Motions
The proposed change to the CCR doesn't make SHRS a fixed possibility for the Worlds or Continental Championship. It actually opens the possibility of using any other scoring system, with the approval, as Miguel properly states, of the Events ESC. The way the rules currently read there are hints that...

Re: 2015 AGM - Topic: Ratify Emergency Class Rule
Even though my little sidebar identification probably says I am Secretary, I am not. But, I believe that very shortly there will a diagrammatic representation of what will be considered the correct way to measure this fitting. If anyone thinks that there is another way then the real option is to lod...

Re: Emergency Class Rule Change - Gooseneck Fittings
Another apology. This time to say that this rule change is not yet approved by IRSA and so that means that its validity is still not in place. A request for approval is going to IRSA momentarily and it is hoped the outcome will be known shortly after that. It is conceivable that the exact wording ma...

Emergency Class Rule Change - Gooseneck Fittings
Prior to the 2015 Worlds and following onto an earlier Class Rule Interpretation, it became apparent that a decent number of fittings that were in use and had been in use for years would be rendered illegal. For the purpose of getting the Worlds conducted, IOM ICA authorized the Worlds Organizers to...

Re: 2014 AGM Discussion
I think there are good possibilities. There are also issues but if the organization wants change that all becomes relatively simple. At the moment we require the NCAs to poll their owners for every vote and that has to introduce a delay in results if there are changes introduced through discussion. ...

Hi John, Thanks for your interest in the "meeting" process. There used to be a physical meeting in conjunction with the Worlds (and maybe at the EU Continental in the off years) and from my understanding they were poorly attended and nothing much ever happened off the floor of the meeting. Even for ...

Re: What "..shall pass through a 20mm, ring gauge." BOOM F.
An interesting design exercise and Robert is certainly the right guy to address it in the end. As John Ball has told you below, and you indicate you are doing, the only official declaration comes from asking for an interpretation. Seems like you have started on that path. Personally, I would questio...

2014 AGM Discussion
The items to be voted on this year are not, I think, very controversial so I don't particularly think a separate forum is required to supply discussion space. So I will propose that if there is any meaningful discussion that we just conduct it under this heading and go from there. If we find there i...

Re: Drum winch at lowish price
I'll try to shed a little light. Although the specs sound very similar the two winches are technically quite a bit apart, I think. I have absolutely no experience with that MX winch but it looks to be based on fairly normal servo technology and the RMG is anything but that. I have used a number of t...

No and No. Applications still come to the ICA as before, we make the choices and then inform IRSA of our choice. We have agreed to make sure we keep IRSA in the loop and have them confirm our choice. As far as what they post on their website, we have no particular control over that but we will follo...

Re: IRSA elections, candidates
For IRSA matters it is AMYA that votes and that all goes through your President, he is the defined contact for the USA. From there I am not sure how each organization deals with any resolutions or election voting. I didn't check the IRSA Constitution (or whatever they have) to see if there is a pres...

Re: Changes to Class Rule G.3.1 and G.4.1 to alter sail cons
I am a little confused about how this can be confusing. For years, the Class Rules concerning sail construction have been primarily quite stagnant. Following the use of these single panel sails at the WCR in 2011 there was a request to clarify if they were legal under the rules in effect or not. The...

During the lead up to the 2012 AGM all NCAs were polled to submit names for someone to move into the Class Secretary's position to fill the office for the second year of the current term. The reason for needing that position filled is because the current Class Secretary was the only nominee for the ...

Thanks Bruce. I can take some credit for writing the letter to start the process but the end result is directly from Robert and his TSC who have created a simple solution.
