Proposed 16-Jan-2021 Lake Gilmour, Waihi

11am Saturday - IOM Handicap Fun Day

If you are an IOM sailor i bet you have heard of a V11, Kantum or if you watch our TRSC website and seen my just launched "Mr Stein" IOM NZL1270

But i bet you have never heard of a IMP KZ56 or a JURY KZ168, unless you were at the IOM Nationals in 1992 or 1993 ????

Well today in Katikati we saw one of each. The original owner who raced them in the 1992 / 93 Nationals

He has dug both hulls out of the back of the garden shed and is restoring this to as close to original as possible,

whirl wind winch and a sail arm on a servo. Sorry to say but the sail seams are looking a bit worse for wear on the older ones.

However in a week or two these will be back to there original glory and back out sailing at Kaitikati and Waihi.

So how do we get these original IOM's back racing on par with the newest design at our next events here in Tauranga, Katikati and Waihi.

Glad you asked. I think we might have a way to generate more interest in racing these older design yachts at regattas.

With our current Classic (pre2010), Cockatoo's are now being sort after as they were one of the fastest IOM's last built to meet the current requirements.

At the Last Classic event in Auckland, I borrowed a DM2 for the day as i knew it could foot it with the Cockatoos pre 2010 yachts.

So how do we shake things back up and give the advantage back to these earliest IOM designs and get them back out racing competitively.

I believe the way to do this is too give them the most advantage, so people go out looking for the oldest IOM's they can find.,.

BELOW PROPOSAL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL HAVE MANY MORE UPDATES...

Saturday 16th Jan 2021 we run a Handicap event in Waihi favoring the oldest IOM designs given them the most advantage.

Boats do not need to be registered or measured for this fun day, but do need to comply with the intent of the class rules of there vintage.

Scoring TRSC average points system, (you could stay in town overnight and could also sail in Waihi Social Sunday Club sailing)

We can keep fine tuning the handicaps to give the classic the best chance.

If a hull out performs / under performs its handicap we could be increased / decrease its handicap for the next event.
