Maybe it could make some sense for WC, but deffenately not for CC. Just an example. Due to the fact that the last EC was moved, Denmark was not able to send any skippers, so DEN will not get any extra spots. With the current rules DEN gets 3 spots, but with the proposal DEN will only get one spot. T...
Hi I have been trying to make a money transfere for the entry fee for the WC i West Kirby. But my net bank keeps coming up with a message, that there is a fault in the IBAN code. In the NoR the IBAn code is listed as: GB35MIDL4021140205 Is there anybody who can help, is there a fault in the code, or...
Only wood and/or fiberglass reinforced plastic and/or plastic are allowed. And for fiberglass it's only pure fiberglass that's allowed.
So, for example Texalium is not allowed, because it's fiberglass coatted with alluminium.
Hi Bruce I can try to clarify a little. It should be read 8000 kg/m3, 8.000 is the european way to write it. Why is it then specified, that is should be more than 8000 kg/m3? I think it's because, you then can't strengthen, when you ad weight to the mast. You are only allowed to use alu or wood, and...
Hi all I have been checking up on thing, that has to do with the IOM EC in Dubrovnik. Talking to our treasure her in DEN, it has to my notion that we have not pay any subscription for 2008. Looking at the ISAF-RSD webpage, there is info regarding subscription for 2008. Is there anybody out there tha...
Dear all In light of the Spektrum discussion, and with the risk of sticking my hand in a bees nest, I have a question. 8) Is it regal to use (on the out side of the hull) filler, f.ex. Plastic Padding, or epoxy with microballoons/microfibre. I ask because I have build myself a new IOM, but after I h...
Hi Even though Denmark is a little country and there is no charge for measurement of sails, it would still cost about 50 £. The reason is that there is a toll bridge between me and the other measure, and about 250km each way. Well I could measure the sails myself since I am a measure, but I do not ...
Hi “the logical and fair division for race 2 would be identical: 15-15-15-15-16, but there is no provision in the current HMS for moving up/down a variable amount of boats - so I don't see how we get from race 2 into race 3 where the config needs to be 14-14-14-14-20 for the races to continue. “...
Hi Marko Thank you very much for your reply!!! You are very welcome I suspected that the battery might be a problem - but only because it was the last remaining component of the system... For me it was the same, the batteries were the last thing to check. I had been using the same for an other boat ...
Hi Marko Just my 2 cents. I have been using the 5955TG for almost a year now, and I am very happy with it. For the next boat I am currently building, I would definitely use it again. That say I can maybe give an answer to your problem, it is the batteries. When I started using the 5955 the batteries...
Hi I would like to give some insight on how I built my IOM´s, since Charles was kind enough to mention them. I would liked to answer earlier but time has not allowed me to do it. I plank my boats over MDF frames, the frames are placed with 50 mm between them. I know that 50 mm gives a lot of frames...
Hi all I like to also give my 2 cents, but let me state that it is my personal statement and that it reflex my personality (taking things as they come and make the best of them) The event organisation: Can not any thing to put a finger on, every time I had a question I got an answer. Every one was f...
Hi Anders My 2 cents. I have being using both the 5745 and the 5995, in my boats (IOM). As for the 5745 it has worked fin with no problems at all, it is heavy but reliable. If you use the HiTec programmer and a good Tx you can easily get 180 0 of travel. As for the 5995: I have being using it in my ...
Hi As the designer of Laerke from 2004, I can only recoment her. I have been more than happy with her. Of the other designs I have only sailed against the TC, and never lost to one. Laerke is a design that I designed for windstrength of medium and up, in wind under 2 m/s she seems to loose out to th...
