Scottish District IOM Wooden Boat Championship 2015 – Report
Report by Tich Summers
The MYA Scottish District IOM Wooden Boat Championship was hosted by Tayside Radio Sailing Club at Forfar Loch on Saturday the 13th June. The wooden IOMs are home built by in garages, garden sheds or even on the kitchen table. Some are self designed and at least one skipper make his own sails – all within the International One Metre class design regulations (an economic high performance radio sailing yacht). The result is some beautiful wooden yachts planked mostly in red cedar. The downside is that on the water they all look very similar and it is not uncommon for skippers to try sailing the wrong boat!
