This is an MYA national class, which is particularly suitable for lakes with restricted depth and sheltered wind conditions. It offers virtually complete freedom in design provided that the boat, in racing trim and with the exception of fittings, rig and sails, fits completely into a rectangular measurement box 940mm (37”) long, 229mm (9”) wide and 279mm (1l”) deep. Some designs with very simple rigs are ideal for youngsters to rig and race. The measurement of these boats takes only a few minutes and is simplicity itself. Despite the freedom that this rule permits, many boat designs stay competitive for many years. Vane steered free sailing 36”s made a comeback in 2003.
