Martin Dovey makes spinnakers for Vane 36.

I used this stuff (and the 8mm) https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/10mm-roll-wrapped-carbon-fibre-tube-metric I didn’t bother using tow on the join, just a small bit of mylar tape on the end of the larger tube. You could use a strip of black dacron also. I only use shrouds on my #1 and #2 - with PJ clip on spreaders. #3-6 are shroudless. For reference I have a 12mm stub in the boat which has the kicker on, the 10mm section drops the full depth of the mast tube into the bottom of the boat. The mast has a wrap of mylar tape to stop the gooseneck riding up.

That is incorrect. Rules changed a few years ago! Find the rules here.. https://www.mya-uk.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/36_Class_Rule.pdf For reference I used 10mm for my 36 masts, with 8mm above the shrouds on the tallest rigs. I’d say you’d want a bit of give so using high modulus tubes would be too much. I sourced some from easy composites that has worked fine.

I sailed a Bubbles at the Poole Nationals in 2003

Looks good but I’d say the rig in the photo needs to be much lower in the boat. The same with the other rigs.

I’ll take a photo of mine, it’s quite simple.

Hi John My RG65 has an arm winch and servo mounted on top of each other. Servo on the top, arm winch on bottom. It has plate over the top that holds them into the boat. Using a 2:1 purchase is enough, tied back to the rudder post. Mine doesn’t even have a block, the arm has a ferrule in it for the rope to run through. Sheet on deck is tied to elastic led forwards like a DF65.

Ask Mark Dicks…

Most people use some sort of primer and rub it down between coats..

Hi, thanks Shaun, just wondered about them tis all!

Hi all, Just wondering what happened to the earlier GB designs? Obviously we know what the changes can be made to the Polaris to modernise it. Soporific Sigma 6 “Northern Lights” Octavia Like most boats they are probably languishing in a shed or loft somewhere sadly.

Vinnie Can you use the downloadable files from the MYA website and a Bluetooth speaker? https://www.mya-uk.org.uk/kb/start-countdown-recordings/ Or this? https://lincolnradiosailingclub.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/countdown-timer-flyer.pdf Best Dave

Carbon tube to deck, bolted through. Use locating pins fore and aft to stop twist on lead. Saves the weight and faff of a keelbox - ends up with more fin in the boat than in the water because of the hull depth. You could locate some of the fin as a stub through the hull for stiffness.

I wasn’t contacted either, and no one has asked for the 36 class mailing list from me!

Have you asked Martin Dovey to check the sail number on the register?

Post further down this forum.

Hi all l will send this via email but posting this here also. ** PROPOSAL ** Proposal from the 36 Class Captain to either keep the rules as they are or to vote to follow the proposal from the MYA Technical Officer. If the class votes to keep the rules the same nothing more needs to be done. If the class chooses to change the rules to follow the MYA TO’s suggestions, I will need support from 5 helms from 5 different clubs, and will have to put it to vote again. Proposed rule change question, please choose one answer: A: Keep the existing 36 Class rules B: Vote to change the 36 Class rules to MYA TO updated rules Follow the link below to vote if you are a 36 Class owner. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWE7W5d-E5H3stV1KYz9EWs8c9sJi5FGzd3infNx1WqlwmCw/viewform

Not a robot! Best check with IOM registrar, but looks like an ISIS

Hi John Sorry that should have been a question rather a statement! I presumed it was to exclude Vane control from a RC class. Oops!

@Phil Holliday as I didn’t know you had a 36 (which one?) can you please fill this out.

Thank you Phil. Sorry I sent the email out to the original COG email list, as I couldn’t find my updated one. That’s why I posted it here also. I also sent a questionnaire out in January and posted it on here asking for 36 owners to reply, I had limited responses.

Is that this to exclude vane control from a RC class? I agree should be 1. Rudder 2. Rig or as you say: The rig/ rudder may only be moved as a result of inputs made by the competitor.
