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.

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

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.

SOLING CLASS
|
SOLING ONE METER
Class.
This one meter yacht
was brought out to be an introductory
level class or starter boat for the
hobby/ sport of Radio Yachting. It is
available in kit form from some hobby
shops. Many of these smaller yachts are
sailing and racing in NSW. The only
state where they are recognized, so far.
These yachts have proven to be good in
Pond and open water situations. The
class would like to expand to other
parts of Australia in the future. It is
easy to sail for the beginners but a
challenge for the more experienced
sailor who wants to get the best out of
the yacht.
There are some people
associated with this class who do sell a
completed version.
Most people who sail
this class do so in a club situation.
There are about 7 clubs in NSW that race
them.
A FUN class that
won’t cost the earth.

NATIONAL RC LASER CLASS
|
This class has been around since the
1980’s circa. It was designed by Bruce
Kirby and is in fact a 1/4 scaled
version of the full sized popular
version of the Laser Class that
thousands have been made throughout the
world. While the boat has only one sail,
it has proved itself to be quick and
responsive and a joy to race in a fleet
situation. The class is growing not only
in Australia but World Wide. The R/C
Laser class is currently being sailed in
5 states of Australia; they are NSW, Qld,
Vic, WA and Tas.
