Hi John, Thank you for your input. In my opinion I prefer the original rules as they do what they need to. But the MYA have asked me canvas opinion.. so I shall 🤣 Dave

I’ve sent this out by email to the 36 COG, but for ease of discussion I have also posted it here. The MYA (and Technical Officer) have proposed to standardise all class rule documents, including the 36 class and tidy up things within the document. For any rules to be changed it needs agreement from the class owners group (you!). Please see attached documents with notes and the original rule document. Have a read through and get back to me with any thoughts by 6th August, when I shall canvas a vote.

Hi Does anybody have any photos of a single ended winch line system on a Quark or similar? Like the one suggested on the Sailsetc website (https://www.sailsetc2.com/index.php/sheet-tube.html) Main drive line on winch with an elastic return in a tube under the foredeck.

Hi Chris Thanks I’ve sorted it via PJ and BG. Thanks

Graham, absolutely!! I’ve got a Scurry 😄 I just need to get my sh#t together and come race it.

Just had a good watch of the RG65 nationals videos posted on YouTube. Is there a reason courses for small classes such as the RG65 having courses set with the windward mark way way off into the distance? I feel it just becomes an eyesight test both for the skippers and observers. Lots of tacking to avoid boats they would never have impeded. This is not a slight on the PRO and his/her team btw, just a discussion point. Surely it’s better to have smaller courses with more opportunity for place changes, and therefore more races? I know it’s different for the larger classes who need long courses to stretch their legs.

I have these as my numbers for the Marblehead (km/hr measured 1m off the water) A 0-15 B1 12-20 C1 18-30 C2 25-35 C3 30-40 B2 35-45

Hi, I’ve adjusted the form. Thank you!

Hi all, If you would like to join the class mailing list, and haven’t already done so please send an email to: lullaby.felt-0c@icloud.com I’ve written a short questionnaire and it would be useful for the class if you can fill it in. If you haven’t already received an email from me and you own or want to own a 36 please follow the link below: https://forms.gle/ixH6meMxMrGEUEWr8

Have a look here… http://www.onemetre.net/Build/Countrwt/CountrWt.htm

Does anybody know where I can source a fitting like this that allows you to add/remove the jib wire on a IOM boom, could do with one for 10mm super light boom and 11mm boom.

Just to highlight the risk of leaving rigs in plastic bags.. I had to strip the bearings from all 5 of my M conventional rigs as most of them are rusted solid! £8+ each to replace!! They are now hanging properly 🤦‍♂️

Likely Dacron patch material!

There is a rudder mould for the Rococo with the class association moulds, wherever they are. Sailsetc could also supply you something.

I’ve sent you a message Riv.

Hi all, For interest...

I guess the issue is changing battery during a race series. It’s a big patch to replace every time. You can always pull the servo patch at the end of the day.

I’d be tempted to get a recessed pot plate made up by Sailsetc to solve your problem. https://www.sailsetc2.com/index.php/products-a-spotlight/screw-top-pot.html Check image 7/7 on the above link, retro fitted to a widget.

Hi Trevor maybe you could retro fit a pot with glass surround? I presume winch is forward of the mast? Or cut a new hole? Would be useful to see a photo of your boat to suggest a solution. example of a cockatoo with pot below...

Worth contact GB see what he has lying around. I recently got a M/10R top suit from him for a reasonable price.

You would be better chatting to fleet captains at the bigger 10R clubs like the round pond, or Hampton Court as they may know of things for sale that might not get advertised on here!

Contact Roger Stollery I’m sure he would share the drawings with you!

Best to contact Graham Bantock, he was the designer and Sailsetc likely the builder.

Hi Steve, Is the NOR out yet? I’m sure Martin will reply shortly. The event isn’t until November.

Something like this would do!
