The rules state that numbers should be legible and I recently saw an IOM with a number which had a zero with a slash through it which made it (to me at least) appear for all the world like an 8. I haven't seen this style of 0 before and wondered if it was class legal.

A Robbe Windstar is IOM legal.

Would you still need shrouds on a 6m rig like this?
-
Malin wire is available on Amazon

£££?

Better start saving up for some vane gear!
-
MX14 (1).pdf Is this any use?

As the title suggests, I'm looking for opinions regarding the performance of a 36r using IOM rigs compared to a typical club level (ie: not a britpop!) IOM using the same rigs. Gary

You could always wind them yourself from a guitar string.

Sails etc. use the Sky Shark 7pt tubes in their rg65 rigs and also list tapered carbon tubes which are probably the same items. Worth an enquiry...
-
Which flysky receiver are you using? The Fsia6 that I use won't tolerate more than 6.6V.
-
As in the title, I'm sure I've read somewhere that you can measure a 6 as an A class. Is this possible and is there any advantage to be had? Do you lose or gain sail area, etc.? Gary

Brad Gibson suggests sliding a length of stainless steel capilliary tubing from a syringe over the wire and bending it into a sharp hook shape.... apparently, it doesn't let go and very easy to replace... virtually zero drag.

Any photos?

Can anyone identify the vane gear I got for my 36r?

Not for your sail numbers though...

Look in the Free Plans section of Frank's website.

I use dental floss.

No such thing as too much Swiss Roll..
-
Probably a daft question but is it permissable to follow your vane boat with a small bicycle? My old legs might not last a day of bank walking......
-
Thanks for that info, I was thinking of using the roll wrapped tubes from Easy Composites. So you still need shrouds ona carbon rig then? That is what I was hoping to avoid...
-
I emailed the class registrar and he informed me that carbon masts are indeed legal for the 36 class boats. Thanks all. Gary
