Locally we’re having fun sailing these thoroughbred IOMs cleanly and competitively in three special radio sailing venues. We sail IOMs at Coulon Park and Surprise Lake every month March – October. On Fidalgo Island the Deception Pass MYC sails year-round on Sundays and Wednesdays, as they don’t know when to stop. Actually they don’t stop because their venue is located in the Olympic Mountains rain shadow, which is amazingly effective at driving away rain, but not the wind. We habitually comingle our IOMs like one big club at these three venues: Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park: 1201 Lake Washington Blvd., Renton, WA: This exceptional park on Lake Washington is our SMYC home for IOMs.

    International 2.4 Metre Class <[email protected]> 28. kesäkuuta 2014 19.45 Newsletter Information International 2.4mR Newsletter - June 2014 Edited by Jackie Gay Executive Report: 2.4mR One Design Rule by Bruce Millar, Class President For your Executive team this was our big project for 2014 - to create, consult with our sailors/owners and vote upon the new set of class rules for the One Design. The task - inevitably - took longer than I anticipated, however overall the process, led by Stellan Berlin and the Technical Committed, was thorough and considered. We received lots of input and the team input many hours of work reviewing and incorporating the feedback received. I was pleasantly surprised by the wide participation of people worldwide - the sign of a healthy debate and class. We hope that this participation continues with everything we do. The proposed new rule was approved with overwhelming majority and we happy to put the matter to rest now that the rule is complete. The rules can be found here: http://www.inter24metre.org/24mr-ica/class-rules/ The Executive will now move on and focus on 2.4mR issues and preparing for the AGM to be held at the Open Worlds in Toronto in September/October. Next winter we will focus on cleaning up the 2.4mR rules and working with some of the ideas that came out through the recent process. I will now be concentrating on the business side of the One Design rule: manufacturers, paperwork trails and certification. It will be up to each country to measure and certify boats.
