IOMICA Forum

There is an enormous variance in the quality of carbon fibre and the resins available to build masts and with that comes price variance. Inevitably opening up to carbon will lead to someone building a mast using ultra high modulus prepreg carbon, autoclaved baked at 200c to achieve the stiffest mast ...

From memory there were a couple of boats at the last worlds that had concave decks. the proposed rule makes them illegal post change?

Does someone want to write a summary of the views for changing the current rule?

Semingly there seems to be general consensus that the oval holes don't break the rule as it is currently written?

Has anybody worked out what the effects are of having such a system?

Have retrofitted a system with a fully enclosed deck, not hard and didn't take long. A deck with easier access would make the glue job at the bottom of the boat neater.

Now having used the system there is a couple of observations which i'm not sure are fast.
1. the jib forestay now pumps and it is ...

Putting the rule interpretations aside for a minute.
Has any one else established if there is an advantage in doing this or the pros and cons. What's being gained, what's being lost? lets work it out.

Has anyone worked out the process of retrofitting a tube and how expensive/inexpensive/simple ...

the starting tape [...] contained some timing calls in addition to the ones required (E3.5)

A pity the organisers were not familiar with this rule. Another one for the Race Management Manual, then...

The starting tape was exactly as prescribed by 3.5 except for the addition of music for the ...

Unfortunatley during the regatta we had
35 Shirts
10 Vests
46 hats
lifted from the container and the administration tent. This equals just over $3000 of product. As the regatta was run to break even my personal funds have funded this shortfall.

Each competitor was given one hat and one shirt, if ...

there needs to be some way to allow protests to be heard and not suspend all sailing.

Absolutely right! What specific changes would you propose to the racing system to permit this? That is, I mean actual suggestions for modifying the heat racing system to achieve this?


It was interesting ...
