      Mast Ram

      By Stuart Watts · Posted

      New IOM owner here with a Fatboy design hull. I'm slowly getting my head around the different rigging adjustments. However, I am not sure about the mast ram. My rig has a slotty mast (although it doesn't have a slotty sail (!) just string luff rings through a luff wire in the sail.) The mast sits in a mast step hole about 60mm deep. The deck infront is higher and has a threaded rod through a hole with a large plastic knob on to adjust the amount of backwards ram. However my mast sits at the back of the step hole so the ram is not being effective. Is there a wedge or something to push the mast forward with pressure from the ram to bend it back? At the moment the ram does nothing. The mast is reasonably straight (negligible pre bend) and the sails seem to have about + 5mm luff curve. Am I missing something?

      Whirlwind Olympic Winch Speed

      By John949 · Posted

      I'd appreciate it if you could time yours for me, it's the Olympic I'm particularly interested in.  I used superglue to reattach the pot to the plate and glue the bottom of the pot back on.  Obviously you need to be very sparing with it - a drop on the end of a pin works for me.

      the new RRS for 2025-2028

      By John Ball · Posted

      World Sailing has issued a number of changes and error corrections to the RRS 2025-2028. The main items that I noted are a return to the previous wording for Obstruction, now back to sailing the course Definitions, Proper Course Change the definition to: Proper Course A course a boat would choose in order to sail the course as quickly as possible in the absence of the other boats referred to in the rule using the term. A boat has no proper course before her starting signal. The other change is a name change for Umpired sailing, which will require updating of any NOR/SI that reference this document. Appendix E Preamble and Online Rules Documents In the Appendix E preamble, change ‘A Test Rule for Umpired Radio Sailing’ to ‘Development Rules for Umpired Radio Sailing’. In Online Rules Documents, change ‘Test Rule for Umpired Radio Sailing’ to ‘Development Rules for Umpired Radio Sailing’. John RRS-2025-Changes-and-Corrections.pdf
