Roy, However, you don't seem to appreciate the hard work and effort it took to bring stability back to our class As I’ve said, I don’t see stability, I see unresolved issues. As to hard work, please explain to me how anyone on the Exec has worked harder than me over the last two years. Andy, you...

Hi Henry Spektrum DX6 & 7 use two receivers so how do they fit with class rules permitting only one? Excellent question! You’re quite right of course, D.2.4(a)(1) specifies one receiver. To the letter of the rule neither is class legal. There may be an argument for proposing a class rule change to...

It’s difficult to separate my opinion as an Executive Officer from my opinion as an Owner. But in either case I don’t think this is such a good idea. As a serving member of the Exec I didn’t volunteer to get perks, my reward is knowing that I’ve contributed, maybe even made a difference and ...

Hi John What is wrong with having a sailmaker be a measurer and provide a measurement certificate with the sails? Essentially that’s the goal of IHC, rather than you having to visit a measurer to get your sails signed, they arrive with signatures in place. When I buy a set of sails from a sailmake...

Hi Lester, I was initially quite encouraged by the idea of self certification for sail manufacturers, but am rapidly coming to the conclusion that it’s unlikely to work for Radio Sailing. I think it’s a function of scale; sail makers seem unwilling to go to the effort and expense of producing pa...

Hi Jeolla, I think that’s an interesting question. F.3.3(b)(5) defines a pair of spreaders as an optional mast fitting. F.3.1 deals with materials for the mast, but specifies materials for the spar only. Other references to materials in the Class Rules are: D.2.1 Hull Materials D.2.3 Hull Fittings...
