THE RULES IN PRACTICE 1989-1992 EDITION Since I met Bryan Willis as did many other model yacht enthusiasts at the Fleetwood RM World Championships, and as a race observer had a great opportunity to watch him at work and listen to some of his jury work I have been an avid reader of his earlier edition of the book now revised and reissued to conform to the 1989-92 Rules. Both the very explicit photos useing model yachts on studio sets and his clear writing style lend themselves in my opinion to the sort of problems found at many local model yacht races, when a variety of skill levels and rule knowledge are mixing together. This edition also includes the full text of the new rules in parts 1,1V, and V of the RYA and IYRU rules, thus having all the sections important for models in one tome. All that one will need to be sure of full text for the next for years is a copy of the Appendix for Models which is being revised by the Racing Rules Committee of IMYRU and will be issued by June 1989. The state of discussion interest in at 10 Rater class has lack of interest the have attended Roger Stollery was developing a some years of been subject in his hands some extent competitors that there the as is to win future they can of new design for by UK designers of call because of on class up 1s now in fear to not that to build no one The MYA calendar shows some events with some recent additions; the hands to date boats, to good boats already built, the for moulded the not else will the rest of calibre SEA SKUA, which did 13th Birkenhead October August 27th Woodspr ing November 12th this issue contains a number Roger’s own words make very good sense of so I will merely introduce between John Gale, the the last lunch break boats were of to construct a that the in Hopefully by course wellknown boatbuilder year’s Nationals plug, he if someone could had been thinking of be over and we very it the so bother!! here is a interesting Coode to design a events list Chelmsford After of but local Gosport realised idea in so why ideas, and the design process, arose out David abroad. found cheap polyester, East bourne intentions in when built 17th 8th by saying that foriegn design, and even commented fleet at the boat his in intending this year, August in in the highest of show up, September shown the publication being sailed Poole plan and rule.

CHICKEN 10 RATER DESIGN. This design was created as a reaction to the 10 rater fleet in Berlin, the majority of which had the appearance of ecer so slightly scaled up Marbleheads. For the prevatling conditions such design is obviously OK, but is it ideal in stronger winds in a class where the length is unrestricted above the LWL? The objective was to design a good light airs 10Rater that would also perform well in stronger winds. Not many of the world championship 10R fleet were useing swing rigs which the RM class has shown to be the most efficient in light airs. In strong winds the bow of a 10R can be designed to resist the extra force generated by a swing rig on the off wind legs which can be a problem on some RMs. As an RM sailor I was keen to minimise the potential outlay for a 10R particularly because in my case two of everything is required!!! so the Chicken has been designed round fin, rudder, yot brick [r/c gear module], and small rigs from my M’S Bee and Top designs leaving just the hull and one full area swing rig as what is ‘special’ to create a 10Rater. LOR bw 163% [4-9 1222 (48: per = F)Ry (ln PRA FOF (14:9) RE on te 237 We n Be (109 [9’S \Ao Pu size PROPLLE «Vp SrmiL PaAnl © Ro Ger Hroucy 1494 “1 Bexm ar, ZT The first sections drawn were based on circular arcs on a 1200mm lwl. low wetted area and a narrow 237mm beam which should give good light performance with 1.0059m” of sail Unfortunately this shape fell area whilst outside my This gave airs still having 277mm maximum beam. limits for acceptable hull balance which on 22.5 deg heel is a percentage of the CB no greater than 0.3 of percentage lwl difference between the static CB and the mid section.

HATFIELD 26 SHANKLIN DRIVE WESTCLIFF-ON-SEA ESSEX SSO 9XU ENGLAND Telephone: (0702) 344389 19th April, 1989. TO ALL NATIONAL AUTHORITIES INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACING UNION Although it was stated in the minutes of the January P.C. meeting that a sub-committee had been appointed to revise our Constitution following the acceptance of International Model Yachting under the IYRU umbrella in the form of a Division, there has been an unavoidable delay in the transition due to the intervention of the Union’s legal advisers who are engaged in the drafting of the Memorandum and Articles of Association under which the Union will be incorporated as a company with liability limited by guarantee under the English Companies Act. The lawyers have pointed out that there is no provision in the present IYRU Constitution for Divisional recognition. This will have to be dealt with by the IYRU Class Policy and Organisation Committee at its mid-term meeting in May and their recommendations will have to be formally ratified by the IYRU Permanent Committee in November. Meanwhile, the Executive Director has authorised us to say that we are “recognised by IYRU” and may use their logo.

The RC Yacht Racing Rules Appendix is currently being revised by our Racing Rules Committee and it is hoped to have this formally ratified by our P.C. and published early in June so that the new Racing Rules can come into force at the same time. This should enable the new Rules and Appendix to be used at the European RM Championship in Orbetello, Italy, in September, A further announcement will be made nearer the expected publication date of the Appendix.

PUBLICITY The decision to reprint the Yearbook did not, of course, find favour with everyone both on the grounds of the inevitable delay and because of the decision itself. Among those displeased was the Publicity Officer, Mike Critchlow. Mike felt so strongly on the matter that he decided that he wished to resign his position. This was a pity as he had done some valuable work in the short time that he held the post. Not least in the way that he had attracted advertising to the Yearbook. Nevertheless it was obvious that we needed an immediate replacement and, consequently, Bill Green was co-opted by the Emergency Committee. Bill will be well known to most of you as Secretary of the Bournville Club and as a most genial correspondent in his “Sail Free” column in “Marine Modelling”. In order that Bill can monitor the publicity given the sport, he would be very pleased to receive copies of any model yachting coverage given in either the national or local press. If you see anything at all in the press, then don’t rely on someone else sending it to Bill, please send him a copy of the article yourself and make a nice guy happy. 12 Model Yachting Association CHAMPIONSHIPS We are now well into the season and already several Championships have been decided.

The 1988 New Zealand National Championships have been reported in the February edition of New Zealand Model Yachting News. Held on Lake Victoria, Christchurch on November 12 - 13, a strong fleet of 10 boats spent two days in both fleet racing and match racing to finally determine David Norris as the Champion, closely followed by Jim Watson, David Watson, Bruce Edgar and Paul Johnson in that order. Skippers were trying out the "A" and "B" rigs of the new specification and seemed pleased with the controllability provided by the smaller rig in the heavier air.

Crest peut- étre A cause de cela que, dans 1'édition de décembre 1988, j'ai fait reférence au peu d'inscrites pour le championnat frangais de 10Rater & Monaco et quelques skippers frangais l'ont pris comme une critique de leur interét spécial dans la classe. Du tout! Je poséde un bon bateau qui, deux années de suite a fini deuxiéme dans le championnat anglais; cde année mon bateau n'y éteit pas parce que je voulais visiter Autun et je n'avais pas assez de jours de vacances. Vous verrez dans cette édition que j'ai encouragé activement le développement d'un dessein neuf de Roger Stollery, qui parait dans cette édition. Ce dessein est remarquable car il utilise les gréements de pour celui de plus grande superficie, et on a fait classe M,sauf le moule en bois pour permettre une jointure simple, ce qui réduit au minimum le temps nécessaire pour le sur le finir.Naturellement, plan et il constate Roger que si a mis sa on utilise propre version un swing rig du swing du type rig Bantock, il faut avancer le mat d'environ 10mm. Roger et Graham ont beaucoup parle de cette différence, sans arriver A une raison décisivee On pense faire les cogues en verre (GRP) pour réduire les frais; la necessité pour en seul greement en plus aide a cet égard et par conséquent on espere augmenter l'interét dans la classe 10Rater. Squire Kay a gagné le chaepionnat 1989 10Rater avec un nouveau bateau, allonge de son nouveau bateau de classe M - Sea Nymph. Il y avait beaucoup de bateaux au chamionnat.qui a eu lieu a Birkenhead dans te nord de l'angleterre, et deux autres bateaux du dessein 'Sea Skua' ont fini 4 et 5 et peut-étre cela encouragera-t-il encore des bateaux. Mésurer des bateaux pour les deux classes, lORater et A peut poser un probléme et la solution Australienne est donnée en détail avec plans et dimensions si cela intéresse les autres autorités. Finallement, au sujet de la classe 10Rater, il y aun phan réduit du dernier bateau Australien de Frank Russell. A ce qu'on entend, la classe est trés populaire en Austmlie et attire des nouveaux gens aux régattes. L'autorite australienne stest renseignée sur la possibilité de célébrer un championnat du monde pour cette classe a Sydney, en 1993. La plupart des skippers aime, parait-il,un argument serieux et en ce moment, l'autorité anglaise, le MYA, se plaint de plans récents de classe A qui ont ou contrecourbes dans le profil dtarriére ou d'avant, ou un bustle dans la région de LWL avant, avec l'intention d'améliorer le classement. On s'est adressé au comité technique de IMYRU pour une décision. En meme temps, il étudie le réglement de la classe 12M JI afin de trouver une base commune, et donc il me semblait aque peut-étire les lecteurs s ‘intéreeseraient -ils dans le dessein en profil d'un nouveau kit américain pour le bateau G Forse qui a toutes les dimensions. La revision du réglement pour la classe EC12, faite par ce comité, a parue entre controversw comme toujours. En ce moment, il parait que je ne serais pas a Orbitello car je dois travailler, donc je compterai sur un rapport de Henry Ericsson de la Finlande qui y sera avec une bonne équipe finlandaise. Il m'a envoyé la page d'esquisses dans ‘designer's Notebook’ en cette édition et m'a promis d'autres. Le projet de commencer une nouvelle division de IYRU a ralenti a cause des avocats de IYRU qui posent des questions au sujet de la constitution actudle. Quant au commerce, Graham Bantock a acheté le commerce de Tan Cole qui peut maintenant passer son temps a faire les bateaux et pas a parler au télphone. David Andrews a fait un treuil Olympic simplifié pour classe M, qu'on branche directement dans le récepteur, comme son petit frére le Low Profile. On attend en Angleterre le premier kit en bois de KMS pour classe F 1000 avec enthousiasme suite au début du premier exemple, a la maison qui a montré grande vitesse au début de la saison. 23 la construit VIC 1OKIAN MODEL YACHTING COUNCIL THE VICTORIAN MODEL YACHTING COUNCIL METHOD OF MEASURING THE L.W.L. r OF . DEVISED AND DEVELOPED BY HUGH MOORE. PREAMBLE Clearly it is essential that a National Method be used to measure the L.W.L. of Model Yachts, for otherwise, as it stands now, boats which measure correctly in their home club could be disqualified at. the National Championship because of a different method of measuring by the host Club / State - with a lot of unpleasantness. It is therefore imperative and urgent L.W.L. be adopted by the A.M.Y.A., affiliated clubs. The measuring of the L.W.L. of that a method of measuring and that it be used by Model Yachts has some the all difficulties which to date had not been resolved satisfactorily. Some methods use moveable bars set at water-level and moved towards each other until they touch the boat. This method disturbs the water and causes the boat to rock. Also it is difficult to know whether the bars are really at water-level when they touch the hull. Other methods involve setting a bar or wire at water-level the boat very gently until it hits the bar or wire. The difficulty with the above methods is that and the boat in the moving water has no weight, the buoyancy exactly countering the weight. Hence it difficult to feel the boat hit the bar or wire until it rises over when the weight is felt. is it Since the slope of the hull to the water-line is about 5°, calculations show that a rise of 1 m.m. gives over 11 m.m. horizontal distance at each end, so that if the hull] rises 1 m.m. above the water-line the L.W.L. will be 22 m.m. shorter than it should be or 7/8 inch in Imperial - and about 25 sq. ins. in gail area. Another method uses a mirror to see the underside of the hull below the water-line. By marking the hull with a few dots the back of the meniscus can be clearly seen in relation to these dots. But is the back of the meniscus the true water-line?. The Victorian Model Yachting Council believes that its method of measurment eliminates all the above problems and proposes that the A.M.Y.A. adopt the method as the”Australian National Method of Measuring the L.W.L. of Model Yachts”.

The comments contained in this and future articles are ‘the impressions of a novice' prompted by this experience. Initial interest lies in the 1 metre and 36R class Radio boats, although it is certain that the writers attention will stray across the range of interest open to model yachtsmen. The initial choice of classes was taken because both 36 and 1 Metre boats fit into family cars and budgets. Both I and John Chenery, a local sailmaker, can get two 1 metre boats and full rigs into a Micra or a Uno. Costs for both classes can range upwards to several hundred pounds, but the writer purchased an oldish Taxachun and three swing rigs for £75. Commercially Squire Kay does a finished 36R without radio with one suit of sails for £125 and Tony Abel For is well for his boats and kits in those who are keen on building quality designs. of Dovercourt that It known look from scratch, and this is a fine boat. MYN have a large number a little of good Earle Fe-Fe and Symphony are one metre designs investigation is entirely possible to design and build from scratch. of satisfaction and a complete boat John Chenery, for around £100. The writer has sailed the 36R Twister belonging to Geoff worthy of great deal under £50. both classes , This approach gives a less radio, with whom the writer sails regularly, can be produced for has produced three boats to his own design for the one meter class. Each came out below £35 complete, excluding radio gear. the latest, a single chine design, to the maximum displacement of the IMYRU rule,is made from scrap packaging material from work. An earlier boat was based on the Woodstock design by Graham Bantock. this boat sails well, and anyone with a little modelling skil can produce a boat this way. Basically the shape is cut out of one piece of ply which is folded up. The joints are then glass taped. A hull shape is formed in this way in little more than a few minutes work. The designers for the currently most successful one metre boats are Graham Bantock with Rhythm, Jazz and Bikini, and Oliver Lee with Tempo. To purchase one of these designs in any the competitive road. form from moulding to complete boat One need to remember, however, that will put you on the application of a number of skills wins races, not just boat speed. it is difficult to escape the conclusion that Graham Bantock would win with any reliable boat. Given the application of his high level of skills, detail and level of concentration particularly his attention to tuning to the task in hand The writers competitive season started with a trip to Swanley for an R36R event. in this park setting, from top suit to almost the weather for the event was ideal , storm suit during the day.
