This is not the forum of promoting new classes. This forum is for IOM's and only IOM's.

I totally support Streve's point of view. Let us concentrate our efforts around the IOM class.

The IOM can be and has been designed and built by non professionals with great sucsess.

In Norway we had 30 skippers in one race and had 6 going up and six going down. I thing that most skippers felt it was easier to get back in the A- fleet after going down. In a two heat race ther are bigger risk to sail every race due to there are more skippers going down. As long as the organizer c...

This issue has been discussed before. 1. Marblehead draft, The marblehead doesn't have restrictions on hull dept which for an IOM is 60 mm. Not all M's has a keel at maximum draft which is if I remember right 770 mm. 2. It is more or less impossible to measure draft without a tank on an iom whithout...

The Texalium doesn't enhance the performance of a boat, only the look of it. So for the sake of competiveness I hav no problems in accepting the Texalium as material.

Basically Texalium should never have been approved used under the current rules at all. We are forced in a direction by builders who, on purpose or not, has interpreted the rule wrong. A similiar issue was the 20mm piece of string in the Black Magic sails which was deemed not legal. If you are a ama...

I can't see the problem. What I am sailing is certainnly not a "toy", I wouldn't let any kid near my boat.

No, people, an IOM is a fine tuned piece of racing equipment. Utilizing the latest technology available allowed in the IOM class rules.

One of the main ideas behind the IOM is simplicity and low cost.

I can not find that oval holes in the deck is permitted. The prob...

I can see the idea of getting rid of the measurement tank, but a measurement tank isn't that complicated to build. Besides a lot of tanks are built already. The introduction of gauges also requires a rulechange, that describes the measuring gauge. This will restrict the design of the hull by the gau...
