IOM - International One Metre These boats are light, responsive and fun to sail. This is the most popular of the international classes and is sailed at most MYA clubs. The class rule is 'closed' and many aspects of design, materials and construction are restricted in an attempt to promote close competition. However the rule is designed to allow the DIY enthusiast some freedom to construct an inexpensive and competitive boat. The important speed related criteria of length, draught, displacement and sail plan are limited to a maximum of 1000mm, 420mm, 4kg and 3 prescribed rigs. More information at GBR IOM Class |

Dragon Force The Dragon Force is a 65 cm long yatch which puts it in the RG65 class. KDMES member John Tushingham has been involved in the development of this yacht. The idea was to design a radio controlled racing yacht that is readily available at an affordable price. The Dragon Force can be raced as an RG65 or against other Dragon Force yatchs only within its own strict design rules with three measured rigs/sails.
