Set Up and Sail

The V11 detailing is simple but effective. In conjunction with the V11 Set Up Guide, assembly is straight forward, and vital tuning information assists you to quickly understand and master your V11's potential

IMG_6609.jpg

Vickers RC Sailing build processes are well refined and thought out.

Our boats are light, stiff and clever,  keeping to a simple and effective philosophy around detailing

The V11 design is a hull, foils and bulb package to compliment the full range of conditions experienced in RC Sailing. The hull design has full volume forward and features the familiar chines and tumblehome of the modern IOM for reduced weight and windage, as well as good tracking characteristics. The V11 features our peaked style foredeck for efficient water shedding when buried downwind and a geometrically strong shape for the forestay and mast ram areas.

Foils are slippery and strategically positioned with the rig to balance the yacht. The V11s forgiving balance through the wind range, allows the skipper to focus on the race at hand, and not rely on micro steering to maintain a consistent VMG.

The rig sits solid on its deck stepped mast step, complimented at deck level with an encapsulating mast gate arrangement over the mast ram. The rudder tube is rigidly supported inside the moulded servo tray. 

Hull construction is from E-Glass Fibreglass Cloth and High Grade Epoxy Resin.

The foils are Carbon Fibre Layup with High Grade Epoxy Resin.

Paint system is a 2 pot Urethane and the boat is thoroughly post cured before finishing.

The V11 Features-

Plastic main hatch access. 

Ready to accept RMG Winch and Standard sized Rudder Servo

Bow Bumper attached.

Hardware is Bantock including an adjustable mast ram, adjustable mainsheet post and tiller arm.

All necessary fittings attached for standing and running rigging.

The V11 comes out of our workshop in Beach Haven, Auckland New Zealand and is ready to accept rigs and electrics.

We also make sails that can be added to the order, or ordered separately.

So hit the enquiry button to discuss delivery times and options.

We are ready to help.

IMG_6638.jpg

Essential to success in sailing comes down to the  Rig and how it is set up and tuned. The V11 comes with a Set Up Guide that covers all the expert information needed to set up like the guns. It specifies the hardware, construction and tuning information to get your rig and sails set up and sailing near optimum straight off the bat, so you can enjoy your racing and punch above your weight.

Include Sets of sails from Vickers RC Sailing and enhance the experience.

Vickers Rc Sailing is back taking orders again for the V11

We look forward to hearing from you

Model Boat Builders Plans: One Metre Class Yacht Plans

The International One Metre boats are light, responsive and fun to sail. The class rule is ‘closed’ and many aspects of design, materials and construction are restricted in an attempt to promote close competition. However the rule is designed to allow the DIY enthusiast some freedom to construct an inexpensive and competitive boat. The important speed related criteria of length, draught, displacement and sail plan are limited to a maximum of 1000mm, 420mm, 4kg and 3 prescribed rigs. Please Note: These plans are printed to order and take approximately 7 days for us to obtain.

iom yacht kits uk

The Nimbus Mk3 design is a good introduction to the 1 Metre Class (IOM), can hold its own with most other designs and has proved very popular for home building in timber.

iom yacht kits uk

Specification

  • Length: 990mm
  • Width 190mm
  • Featured in: MMI February 2005 (Article included with Plan and Short Kit)

Full Description

The two sheet plans give hull lines revised and updated (Feb 05) and all the internal construction. The second sheet gives lots of sail mast and rig details. Designed by Graham Bantock.

T he rise in general popularity of the IOM class of R/C sailboat since its conception has been quite remarkable, with more and more model boat enthusiasts enjoying building and sailing them at all levels of enjoyment. Whilst increasing numbers of the top-level boats are offered as part or completely built hulls by a number of outlets worldwide, there remains a strong demand for straightforward to build and sail designs for the newcomer, which will provide a guide as to best timber build practice and thus keep the entry-level cost to a minimum.

What’s in a Laser or CNC Cut Wood Pack?  – A CNC or laser cut wood pack contains most, if not all, of the intricately shaped parts shown on the plan, which would be difficult or time-consuming to cut out by hand. It does not contain any sheet or strip wood, which you will need to buy separately. Alternatively, you can purchase an Additional Wood Pack, if available. Our Laser or CNC Cut Wood Packs only contain balsa, ply and lite ply and do not include other materials that may be required to complete the model, such as hardwoods, metals and GRP sheets.

What’s in a Short Kit?  – A short kit usually contains, where available, the plan, the laser/CNC cut wood pack, additional wood pack, canopy, cowl or any other available Glass Fibre or plastic moulded items.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Does alioth design cumply with the iom class rules.

Yes. A lthough the design has not been on the market for a long time, there are already some that have been registered with measurement certificate.

I am interested in home build an Alioth yacht but I don´t have a 3D printer.

If you don´t have a 3D printer but would like to build an Alioth, 3D printed kits are available for that purpose. More details soon.

I´ m thinking of purchasing a printer, which one would you recommend for a nice finish?

Most popular low price printers are good to print PLA material if they are well calibrated and work in a suitable place away from drafts or vibrations.

Make sure the build volume is 210x210x250 mm or larger.

Typically, you need to spend some time understanding and calibrating a 3D printer.

What material do you recommend to print the Alioth files?

PLA+ is stiff, has low shrinkage and is easy to print. The disadvantage is a low glass transition temperature.

Darker colours warp on direct sunlight as the temperature of the surface builds up fast. To avoid this, use bright clear colours.

Is the hull designed to be printed in vase mode?

Yes. Vase mode guarantees good layer adhesion and the best surface quality, and it reduces a lot the printing time.

What sailwinch servos can I use?

Files include three different servo trays for:

  • Standard size (40×20 mm) sailwinch servos, like DSNA SW22HV.
  • S100 sailwinch.
  • RMG and ARS808 sailwinch servos.

3D Printed IOM Kit Sets

We first made the D5 Glass IOM with a 3D printed deck in October 2019 and were very encouraged by how easy it made putting the boats together. We sailed these boats hard for over one year and we had no failures with the deck or boat itself. We continue to build glass boats with this method and manage to build boats underweight that need 300 grams of corrector weights

We designed the D6 intended for 3D Printing from the start and these boats have been sailing for over a year now. We found that with out at least a 75 gram glass layer on the outside the boats were prone to cracking when they had a T bone collision with another boat so this is recommended for people building kit sets. We can also sell kit sets sections that are pre glassed

The boats assemble very quickly as all parts of the boat are printed in the seven sections. The sections have inbuilt flanges at the joins so all that has to happen is to ensure the joins have plenty of glue on them for a good bond and no leaks .

Stainless-steel nuts for chain plates, turning blocks and rudder servo holder have been pre glued in place before leaving the factory so once the sections are glued together all that has to happen is for the fittings to be screwed on.

We have now the option of winch lines threaded through PTFE tube and eyebolt so no blocks required

We pre seal the sections with epoxy inside to stop any water being absorbed into the hull.

With constant developmen t with 3D printing building techniques we will keep you updated with any changes. At present we use the Prusa I3 3D printer with PLA+ filament. We glass the sections with a 17 gram glass cloth using ADR240 west epoxy resin.

The boat does needed to be faired and painted for a good finish.

SAILSetc has a long association with the International One Metre class supplying specially designed products since the class’s inception in 1988. From the first World Championship in 1994 SAILSetc designed boats and equipment have given outstanding performance for a large number of sailors against the toughest competition at World, European and national level.

The first SAILSetc IOM designed with the help of a VPP, IKON, justified its use on that project and every design put into production at SAILSetc since then. IKON was followed by ITALIKO, TOPIKO, PIKANTO and FRAKTAL all of which, in turn, proved to be excellent designs giving success to many sailors and top quality performance years after their launch.

SAILSetc has ceased building boats and moulding other component parts. We have developed new sources of fins and rudders which, with our ballasts and in house moulded parts, can be expected to help other designs obtain their best performance.

SAILSetc spars, fittings and sails provide an optimised and compatible range of products with which to equip any IOM, whether from SAILSetc or from another source.

The complete range of products in any category and for any class can be found in the Products by Category section.

Affordable IOM 3 D Printed Kits

Profile

Paul Barton

I'm a member of a thriving RC sailing group at Whitefriars SC in the Cotswolds. We have a fleet of 15 IOMs that race every Tuesday during the year as well as a similar sized fleet of DF95 that race on a Monday.

We are delighted to have agreed to print the Alioth IOM under licence.

iom yacht kits uk

The kit of parts comprises 3 hull sections, centre section insert and radio pot lid, aft hatch, rudder servo mount, various sail winch mounts, rib/fore-deck reinforcement strut, mast recess and associated shroud reinforcement points, 3d printed bow bumper mould. Plus 3d printed mast plugs and fin screw reinforcement. You’ll also need a carbon fibre fin, rudder and ballast bulb. The designer recommended fin, rudder and ballast bulb are generally available to order and a 12 week lead time is normal but that is reducing as the manufacturing processes get faster.

The International One Metre (IOM) class is a 1m long hull with 1.7m mast height and a minimum weight of 4kg. The class rules are very tight and limit yachts to 2-function control and 3 one-design rigs. Hull, ballast, draught and construction materials are also limited. There is sufficient freedom to allow different hull and fin/rudder shapes to be developed.

The  Ellipsis… IOM represents a different approach to what is now “conventional chine” boats,

The truth is chines do not do what designers say they do. They do not “grip” the water or generate lift, or  stop the boat going sideways in any way.

The main application of a chine on modern IOM’s is to easily allow a boat to have tumble home aft by separating the topside shape from the bottom shape. This aft tumblehome In combination with much fuller bow sections, reduces the “in out wedges” of a hull which stops the hull from trimming bow down when heeled. This hull “balance” , allows the hull when heeled to sail in a straight line rather than curve to windward and allows the foils to stay at an optimum angle of a attack without further skewing the hull. This makes the boat easier to sail and reduces drag. 

Other effects of the chine are the ability of a designer to make the stern sections flatter than they otherwise would be and gives the hull a volume bump just above the waterline increasing initial form stability and at the bow increasing acceleration. The chine may also allow a cleaner separation of the water flow aft at speed, but this is debatable.

The Ellipsis… approach is to remove the chine completely but to retain the volume distribution and excellent hull balance of a chine boat. This produces a much simpler and easier to produce hull in both glass and wood. The Ellipsis… is very well balanced upwind and can be trimmed to give a negative feel right though the useful range of heel angles. When running the Ellipsis’s full bow gives the boat excellent nosediving prevention ability and exceptional acceleration in gusts.

The Ellipsis… being narrower on the waterline and has less immersed hull surface than many chine boats. The deck is slightly wider allowing a wider stay base and better rig control.  The flat deck with a raised “bubble” section allows the jib foot to be very low in the boat.

The Ellipsis… is also unlike many chine boats, and very pretty boat .

Assembled Boats:

Assembled Ellipsis IOMs, ready to rig and fit radio are now available from ARS Composite Freelancer in Thailand. 

These cost $900US plus delivery and can be ordered by contacting:
