Re: How active are people here these days?

Definitely !

It seems only IOMICA Exec is working here.

But if you have a question / project, we can try to publicize it through IOMICA's social media.

Re: Which way for sheeting controls

Hi,

Usual way is to sheet in with stick towards you.
On some radio it's the only position where trim is efficient, so could be useful as well.

But there is no "rule" on this ;)

Hi Bruce, Maybe a misunderstanding here, but in RRS as they are, "as a result retiring" can't be a decision of the competitor, for example because he is too far behind. It should be because of a failure, or because of assistance received. If your boat is still able to race you HAVE to continue. So t...
