NMSC Race under the 10 standard International Model Yacht Racing rules and have since 2004

But we must race in a Friendly way, showing respect and good manners to all fellow sailors and to give advice and assistance re- rules etc when required especially to novice sailors

 

NMSC I.O.M. Project

In April 2015 the NMSC Committee voted  unanimously to adopt the International One Metre design as our fostered Club Racing Yacht

This was done for several reasons.

For Continuity. Resale value. Ability to race with other clubs and to encourage other clubs to join with us in racing events etc

One of our Club Members, Col Yohanson found 3 moulds for IOM`s in Toowomba QLD and after negotiations with Allan Strong of Blue Fin Radio Yachts our Club has purchased them

Allan (who we have dealt with before when we purchased 6 "Orca" IOM`s) is retiring  so we were able to purchase these 3 Boat Moulds which will be of great benefit to our Club members and adopt as our One Design Club I.O.M Yacht Project

The Project in Pictures

The Build of the First 4 Yachts

After 5 months of trying to formalize an agreement and obtaining  building information and permission from the designer to use 2 of the moulds we have, we decided to use Allans "Orca" mould (not our preferred ) but as our sailing season is almost  upon us we do need boats to race


The Construction Pictures below are just one members ideas on how to construct to the yacht
