What do we sail at EDMYC ?
At Eastbourne we race the
International One Metre and the RC Laser.
ONE METRE
This is a
relatively new class to the world of radio sailing
that ensures good one design racing.
There are
limits on hull construction materials, draught,
ballast weight and total displacement, while the three
permitted rigs have tightly controlled dimensions.
Maximum length is 1 metre, mast height (A rig) is 1.7 metres and weight is 4 kg's minimum.
It is a relatively cheap class for newcomers, and offers excellent competitive racing, with older designs regularly having their day over newer models.
