Re: Application for NCA Status For SUI

My sincere apologies to SUI for not posting the final approval of their membership. I did tell them that it was all done and they do have had all the official paperwork in hand for some time now.

Welcome to the IOM ICA. We look forward to seeing the SUI boats in many competitions.

Re: Rules interpretation

We think the paperwork is done and we are awaiting IRSA's stamp. There have been some delays but communication has picked up again so hopefully soon for the final answer.

Re: What batteries are people using?

Thanks for the update Dave. It looks like the weight varies a lot by capacity so that is an interesting thing to keep in mind.

Re: What batteries are people using?

HK shows a 2 cell 2300 mah LiFe at 165 gms assembled, wire and connector so that is right back in 5 cell Nimh range and about the same voltage on average. Maybe a better discharge profile and better shelf life/less voltage drop off charge.

Re: 2012 IOM ICA Annual General Meeting

On the heels of recent announcements it is obvious that the previous statements regarding elections being conducted at this years AGM are not correct. The position of Chairman is open for nominations. From my understanding this would be for a one year term to get the election process back on its reg...

Re: Data transmission from the boat

It is really very simple. Members of the IOM ICA recognize that certain radios are not compliant with the rules that are in place. At the same time we are trying to be a bit proactive and pointing out that all of the IRSA recognized International Classes have rules in place (according to what you se...

Re: Data transmission from the boat

May be but all the other class rules (Marblehead, 10R, A) (at least as posted on the IRSA website) say

C.8 Remote Control Equipment

c.8.1 USE
Except for control unit positioning information, no radio transmissions from the boat shall be used.

Same problem we have from what I see.

Re: Data transmission from the boat

Hi Nigel, Robert has done a good bit of work to re-phrase the radio section of the rules to try to make it clearer what the intentions are; that we allow the control of two functions and that they are controlled by the skipper moving controls on the radio. I think the way he has done it is quite goo...

Re: Single Panel Molded Sails

Hi Don,

Based on his description I would say it is a stretch and not a shrink. If you pull it tight before applying the heat that may cause it to relax a little instead of shrink.

Just a guess.
