While the language in this thread is not allways good promotion to our sport the actuall content seems controverse. It seems as if everybody is now fine, that as long as the same ply (thickness, material, etc) is used for the body of a sail, the panels can actually be of different colour. :shock: No...

Gentlemen, for anybody reading this thread it is very clear that IOM ICA and ISAF RSD are in limbo regarding the pending IOM CR rules changes and currently the blame for this is going around the houses. :? Instead of long public discussions who is at fault, how about taking a more pragmatic approach...

Sorry Antonio, didn't mean to take this discussion down the route other threads in this forum are going. I do think it is clear, that at this moment in time as a particpant (which I not am) I would not consider taking 10mm masts to this event or advise the German team members to take this risk. Can'...

Roy, don't get me wrong. I can be very passionate about radio sailing, rules discussion and looking for the little loop holes to utalize. I know for certain, that the MM in Germany has such a large following due to the lack of regulation and the freedom to try new things. If you look at the work and...

And now for something completely different: Looking at this and other discussions around the IOM rules and the hair splitting going on, it becomes evident why newcomers to the sport are so attracted to racing the Micro Magic and other open less regulated classes. :? We should never forget, that we a...

Jeff has made a very valid point. Claiming that something is to expensive isn't getting things anywhere. The key question is, what IS the right amount for an entry fee and how can this be reached? As I have been an active member of the German NCA I have been involved in some research arounf hosting ...

Great start for the Dutch IOM NCA
Better late than never. :lol: Our friends in the Neatherlands put on a great race with 16 boats turning up for a regatta in mostly light airs. A good time was had by every one and the sailing was competative but fair and fun at all times. Photos can be found her: http://picasaweb.google.nl/nikonmode...

To expand on this a little. For example, the NoR for the forthcoming Marblehead Worlds does not invoke G3. This effectively means that no one will be able to turn up and sail a borrowed or chartered boat... That is strange, :?: because from the results and photos I can see that Martin Roberts was s...

Hi Anders, the 5745MG provides a max. travel of 140° Just to add to your confusion I would also consider the HS 5995TG which is a new generation of robot servos. It comes in a "standard" servo housing and only ways 62g compared to >140g of the 5745MG. It provides more than 50% more torque and has a...
