G'day everyone Does anyone know where I could find a website etc on how to build an aerorig/swing for my 1 metre that I am currently building or if their are...
Rotating masts (and so, swing rigs) are prohibited in the US 1 Meter rules: 8.0 PROHIBITED: 8.1 Moveable keels, shifting ballast, bilgeboards, tunnel hull,...
... Well, not really. You could always build a rotating rig, with a fixed mast. One of such rigs was on display at Mystic during the USOM nationals in 01 (or...
Geo is 100% right here. You could build a swing rig with some creative thinking, BUT, I would bet that it would be outlawed in due time if it proved to have...
By the way, ... since when are a set of shrouds manditory in the US1M class? Have I missed this all these years? I have not looked at the rules yet, but I will...
... US1M ... Shroudless rigs are allowed in the USOM class, as well as rigs where the mast does not rotate. The rules do not prohibit shroudless rigs nor...

Steve is correct on this one, No shrouds are required. But I respectfully disagree on the validity of haveing them. I also keel step my boats but use a single...
Since the Aerorig idea is thrown out, does anyone know where I can obtain plans to build my own mast for the 1 mt class in the 3 various sizes that it comes...
Bantock plans can be purchased complete with lots of details from GBMY.com MC _____ From: us1mrcsailing@yahoogroups.com [mailto:us1mrcsailing@yahoogroups.com] ...
shrouds can increase the compression on a rig significantly which can break it if it's NOT designed to have them. What's more important is that the main is set...
Long time. . . no post. Couple thoughts: Swing rigs. I have been playing with a class legal swing rig for some time now. I have it working conceptually but...
I do not think they should be mandatory. That said, the skipper of the boat inflicting the damage should be responsible for any repairs done by his boat,...
Any builder worth his salt will install a Bumper. They look great and are simply a courtesy item. Not sure about the bumper boat mentality but it may help in...
I've seen a boat with a bumper end another boats regatta due to a bad decision to cross instead of tack. I own and race a big boat as well. My point being if...
... hull exactly and work well. The only boats here that have them are the ones that I built. I have seen others go right through a carbon hull while mine have...
Yes Brad, People in business. Bumper or not has nothing to do with speed as I said it is simply a courtesy issue. and what makes good sense. The question was...
Hoj - let's for the moment say we agree on bumpers - now what is the solution to keeping boats from "rail riding" and taking out the shrouds, or wiping out a...
I would like to make a flush hatch cover for my 1 meter. I have seen some boats that have what appears to be a thin plastic film with some type of double...
I have used thin (.020") styrene and electrical tape for years. It is secure and safe, as long as you remember that the electrical tape will not stick to a...
"Sticky-back" or sail repair tape is a good choice as well, the adhesive is not effected by water (you do need a dry surface to stick it on though). It also...
I agree with Doug on all counts... styrene sheet and vinal electrical tape is the way to go. Re the "greenhouse effect" Most Wheeler skippers use a 1/2"...
As some one else pointed out I use sail patch/lettering self stick dacron. It comes in colors and can be bought for about $15/yard from a sail maker. I bought...
... I'll put the meteorologist's seal of approval on that theory. The air's moisture level inside the boat will start with whatever the air around it is...
