Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Everyone, do not be put off by Roberts and Lesters detailed discussion at the moment, they are both extremely educated on the IOM rules and the pitfalls of such possible changes as we have two subjects that are very closely linked, they will also be discussing these subjects with fellow experts that...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Yes, target audience for the original CRO motion was home builders not commercial builders! It is so clear from the "reasoning for the amendment" which I posted earlier. So far, I am not aware of loopholes for commercial gain...Robert G. Robert, I believe your words but I feel the motion failed beca...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Yes, just using this open forum to, as I said, 'come to an agreed wording and get the motion passed'. Seems to be working so far, an open forum where the more experienced 3D printing home builders can have a voice and not just the commercially involved or a selected few friends. Must admit, some gre...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Lester, would love to re-write the proposal so we could all send it through the mixer but my knowledge of 3D printing is limited, hopefully not for long though. The feeling I got was that the folks that were against the Croatian proposal wanted a better written proposal that was more of a 'closed' a...

HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Let's all have a discussion in the correct place, the IOMICA forum, and not Facebook or secret emails, yes, an open discussion with even luddites included. My understanding is that most want to embrace the new 3D Printing technology but the wording of the recent Croatian motion was not to everyones ...

Re: Data transmission from the boat

Looking into the future, not too far though, most transmitters will have all this technology as standard, they will have to if they want to sell them. Why not get ahead of the game and allow them now as they obviously appeal to a few skippers who enjoy this kind of nerdy stuff, being able to plot th...
