INTERNATIONAL ONE METRE CLASS (IOM)

The International One Metre Class (IOM) is the smallest and newest International radio sailing class and has a strong International following. The newly formed International One Metre - International Class Association has taken over responsibility for management of the class and Australia was the first National Class Association recognised by the International body.

The class rules are very tight with three one design rigs permitted and restrictions on construction materials, overall and ballast weight, and draft. There is a maximum overall length of one metre and a minimum weight of 4 Kg. These rules are aimed at controlling costs and enabling the amateur builder to produce a competitive yacht.

The IOM is sailed in all Australian States and is Australia’s fastest growing class with over 500 boats registered. Australia’s IOM fleet is very competitive with Craig Smith of Victoria being a former World Champion

INTERNATIONAL MARBLEHEAD CLASS (M or RM)

The Marblehead was developed by Roy L Clough of the Marblehead Model Yacht Club in Massachusetts, USA and given International status by the predecessor of the ISAF-RSD in 1937.

A restricted development class, the Marblehead is controlled by a few maximum dimensions, overall length (1.29 metres), sail area (0.5161 square metres) and draft of 660 mm. There is ample scope to develop hull shape, rigs, foils etc. Current designs are around the 4 Kg all up weight

The most popular of the International classes for many years until recently challenged for this status by the IOM, the Marblehead is sailed in all Australian States and has a big following in Queensland.

INTERNATIONAL TEN RATER CLASS (10R)

The International Ten Rater is a development class and the rule is a direct descendent of the length and sail area rule of 1887. The measured waterline length X measured sail area in square metres X 8 must not exceed 10.

Most Ten Raters are between 1.4 and 1.7 metres overall and weight 5-7 Kg. Boats in the class have a spectacular performance and they are generally the fastest of radio yachts. They are popular in most States.
