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 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
