IOMICA Forum

Roy There is no secrets here. I have proposed several times to solve the problem between the IOM ICA and RSD. Instead answering on my message, you started to explain to others on this thread your point of view witch I believe is not a way in which this matter could be solved. Now everybody may see w...

JimThere is no secrets here. This is not private correspondence. On this thread Roy started with: "Nevertheless, Robert Grubisa, proclaimed head of RSD's technical committee, has been sent the 2008 rules changes and he has accepted some but most importantly he has rejected others and wants them to b...

Val, Excerpt from RSD Regulations: 14.3 A request to change the Class Rules shall be made in accordance with ISAF-RSD Regulation 1, Notices and Submissions and shall be received by the ISAF-RSD General Secretary. An International or Recognised Class Association making a rule change submission is ent...

Ok, I have suggested Roy to finish the issue without going public, but it seems that the proposal is not accepted. Sorry for long post. * For you interested in the details, please follow the correspondence from bottom upward. * For others, this is the summary: - IOM ICA sent 2008 Class Rule changes ...

I kindly ask you to read carefully following document: http://www.iomclass.org/tech/IOMICA_TSC_role_and_function.pdf It is posted on official IOM ICA website under Technical and clearly define what have to be done if interpretation or class rule change is needed. What is the purpose of more than hun...

I will try to explain once again why it is useless to initial measure: - weight of the boat, - weight of the keel, - length of the boat, - depth of the hull and - draught of the boat. All of mentioned dimensions are subject to the way in which the skipper will assembly the boat. What is the purpose ...

Roy and Andy It seems that link in Andy's message is not valid. The discussion between Exec members is not my problem. Anyhow, as an IOM skipper I am interested to know when the 2008 IOM CR changes will be valid. As you know, the mast diameter has been changed and there are some people who want to u...

start of quote Finally, as to the "historical documents" from 2002...I'm not sure if other than the people who wrote them anybody ever consulted these records and given the current questionable status of RSD I'm not sure how binding they are. Nevertheless, thanks for bringing them to everyone's atte...

However, as I have said numerous times, I believe in democracy and doing what works best for the class. So the simply question is, do people think that we need to clarify the rules about what should and should not be done at the time of initial measurement of our boats.[/i] Roy, let me know why we ...

Roy, I think that it is more than clear why measurements depending on final boat assembly are excluded from fundamental measurement: Quote Excluding from fundamental measurement what appear to be the major limiting factors (length, draught and weight) in order to get a certificate may seem a little ...

This is the intention of the IOM CR from the original RSD document from 2002: "Because the rules do not require the weight and position of hull corrector weights to be measured and recorded on the certificate, (they do have to be securely fixed during an event – see ERS B.10.1), there is no real n...

I do not what to say about the discussion so far..... Please read the document posted in 2002 !!!! on the RSD official website regarding new (in 2002) ISAF standard class rule format: http://www.radiosailing.org/pdf/about%20new%202002%20CR.pdf I hope that now situation is much more clear for Roy and...

Since the deck is an integral part of the hull shell I am quite happy with the physical attachment of the jib to the bottom of the tube that, you can convincingly argue, is part of the structure of the deck. I agree with Val. In addition, note that normally the lower end of jib swivel cord is attac...

Remote control equipment is listed in IOM Class Rule D.2.4 (a). Under item (4) you will find "Battery cells assembled in one or more packs." So, on IOM boat , battery is part of remote control equipment. IOM Class Rule C.5.3 (d) is written in Part II of the IOM class rules. In the preamble of Part I...

It is not so easy to define the "deck shape" on the IOM class boats as "Development class with some One Design characteristics and with absolute limits to hull length, hull depth, displacement and draft and with One Design rigs." (extract from IYRU MYRD Policy for Classes and Intent of the Class Rul...
