A request was submitted on November 232rd last year by the CAN IOM Class Secretary requesting a ruling on the legality of a "vane like billboard" installed on an IOM. AFAIK there has been no response to this request.
Here are some photos of the "billboard" in question.

Wow, 1492 views and not one comment.
It seems the 'system' is broken.

Re: Waiting for ruling on 'Billboard'
Looks like it should be measured as additional sail area!
Some time ago, some boom vangs were quite large CF plates and they were outlawed along the same line of though

Hi Bruce, It has been approved as class legal. I guess the difference is the boom vang is in the same plane as the mainsail and rotates with it.Bruce Andersen wrote: ↑13 Nov 2024, 22:47Looks like it should be measured as additional sail area!

It is also considered as rigging, whereas the billboard is static and considered part of the hull deck structure.
The ruling is here:
https://www.iomclass.org/iom-questions-and-answers/
"Question:Having in mind closed rules nature of the IOM Class Rules and that deck is not an ERS defined term is there any restriction on placing vertical part on the IOM deck (like one on the photo? "
