Vintage 10-Rater

The 10-Rater class has been a model class since 1893 and has been active continually since then. 10-Rater is currently one of the most popular international classes and is raced in 22 countries around the world.

The US VMYG Vintage 10-Rater class (V10R) is based on the 1948 Rating Rules for the 10-Rater Class by the Model Yachting Association of Great Britain.

The three goals of the rules for this class are:

1. To encourage the restoration of existing 10-Rater boats that qualify under the 1948 rule and to get them out on the water and participating in US VMYG events. All of the 10-Rater plans available on the US VMYG website qualify under this rule. And the 10-Raters described in the Priest & Lewis book Model Racing Yachts should also qualify, although it never hurts to do the math.
2. To encourage the development of new 10-Rater designs built to the rule to expand the fleet.
3. To be consistent with existing US VMYG class rules when possible. The class is divided into Traditional V10R and High Flyer subclasses. Rules on materials, construction, and sail measurement should be familiar to anyone who knows the existing VM or V36 rules.
