Members of two clubs in Florida,
Deep Creek MYC on the west coast and
South Daytona RCMYC on the
east coast initiated the development of the class. Our desire
was to have a one design boat with classic lines that is easily
transportable, light weight for easy launching and has
exceptional performance. Both of the clubs currently have active
US12 racing fleets and have held intra-club regattas. We hope to
see more fleets joining our class from all regions of the
country.
The rules and specifications were written to
attain a one design class, however, flexibility is allowed in
sail material and construction (single panel vs. multi paneled
), mast and boom materials, deck layouts, fittings, internal
electronics components and rigging materials and configuration.
As interest grew,
Herb Harris and Don Hawes, commenced manufacturing hulls and
kits. We offer everything from a bare hull to a complete kit
which provides all of the components, except for electronics and
glue, to assemble a ready to race boat.
The kit contains a
gelcoated, hand laid fiberglass hull, lead ingot ballast, wooden
deck and deck beams, flush access hatch, rudder, mast and
booms, one piece panel sails, rigging materials, fittings,
removable electronics board and complete assembly instructions.
