After the success of the original Cheinz design in 2011, Mirage Radio Yachts has recently released the new Cheinz 2.

Mirage Radio Yachts, the IOM ‘Cheinz 2’ is a modification of the original Cheinz that was launched for the IOM Worlds in West Kirby in 2011, a design that performed incredibly well at the championship having been sailed only twice before the event, and never with the small rigs.

Differences between the two designs is that he has reduced the sheerline to take away the bulk of the original and reduce windage. The Cheinz 2 has a new fin and rudder with reduced drag. The winch is now under the deck in a new 3D produced mount under a new deck hatch, this has resulted in a centralizing of the weight at the pitching moment. A beneficial result. This has led to there being no need for a deck opening on the foredeck.

The original Cheinz was one of the most popular designs in Australia in the years after its launch and demand for the new Cheinz 2 is strong with five boats already built with the first headed to a new owner in Perth while others will head overseas to the USA, New Zealand & China.

Mirage now offers a number of IOM designs alongside the Cheinz 2 which include the popular Panda (pictured below) which made its debut in China last year and the Nitro design which was recently first & second at the 2019 Nordic Championships sailed by Soren Andresen & Torvald Klem.

Decided to design a new boat based on ideas I had that incorporated in some of the past designs but also took a slightly different tack.

What has evolved is a design that I think will be something that will suit all conditions but also at its peak in A rig, which in most areas is the rig used most of the time.

Slightly fuller in the bow with rounded sections and the stern is also a bit wider.

It's initiation was in the CCOR regatta in China last month. Soeren Andresen (Den), and myself attended along with Zyvonko Jelicich , Graham Bantock and skippers from Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as the local contingent. Unfortunately the Japanese skippers plans got skuppered by a typhoon, so they could not attend.

With our two boat in parts when I arrived, and working into the night we got Soeren's A and B rig finished and my A rig.

Both boats launched for the first race and they performed well and showed promise. This was later displayed when on the last day Soeren was the leading points scorer. He showed improvement each day. Final result was Soeren in 3rd place and myself in 7th.

The two boats were sold to local skippers after the event and should be the forerunners of a fleet of Panda's in China.

Orders are now being taken for the Panda.

Key Features

• New fin and rudder
• Lower freeboard to allow the rig to be placed lower in the boat which aids stability
• Screw lid pot to contain the receiver and battery. Because of this inclusion the winch is now in front of the mast.
• Detail improvements include adjustable rudder pushrod
• Available in a range of 8 colours, 7 being RAL colours and the other is the Team Mirage green as shown on the Nitro in the photos.

Recent News

• Plans are now available for the Corbie 5 . A "woodie" IOM for those who like to do their own thing. A set of full size stations printed on two sheets of A4 paper are included in the kit along with a very extensive manual which includes building instructions and tips, a tuning section, and maintenance hints. Also includes a list of suppliers. This manual was as a result of the work of Ian Dundas in the UK who has been a great help in this project. The cost of the kit is $115.00AUD. Laser cut stations can be purchased from a company called SLEC in the UKat an additional cost. This does save a lot of work and is more precise when setting up the building platform.

Producer of the V11 Competition International One Metre Design by Ian Vickers.

Our workshop opened in 2014 with the V8 IOM. Since then we have produced hundreds of hand crafted IOM yachts in the Vickers design range. Yachts that have helped IOM competitors around the world achieve their potential and exceed expectations in competition.

We are currently offering the V11, the innovative design that finished 3rd at the 2019 World Championships in Port Alegre, Brazil.

When our clients return, they know they are tapping in to smart, competitive technology in IOM design and build. Stiff, Lightweight boats, that are Easily Assembled, Fast and Forgiving to sail. Join the fun!

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

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.

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

A welcome from the IOM ICA Executive Committee

It is my honour as one of the youngest IOMICA Executive members to address you on behalf of our newly elected Executive Committee. Like you, my passion and commitment for this brilliant global class have only strengthened with my growing participation. It is fitting having this address come from one of our youngest members, as more than 50% of our electorate is new to the Executive Board. So, to initiate this address, I would simply like to start by pausing to thank each and every one of you. Thank you for your support and participation in a radio sailing class that has origins dating back to 1958. What an accomplishment! This lengthy tradition  has produced some amazing sailboat designs and memorable events year after year. The shared passion for IOM has generated a  global camaraderie  that unites us all. Recognizing this, we would like to acknowledge some remarkable individuals for their stalwart commitment and personal sacrifice in promoting our IOM Class and the infrastructure behind it.

We must congratulate Mr. Fred Rocha for his eight years of service as the IOM ICA Chairman and acknowledge everything he accomplished. His perpetual enthusiasm   and  inclusivity  are traits that have greatly benefitted our class. He aspired to improve both our internal and external communication, promote the development of our class in new territories, and openly embrace new concepts and ideas. Fred was very generous with his time and support of all our organizational requirements, and worked tirelessly in this pursuit. Congratulations also need to be extended to our newly elected IOM ICA Chairman, Mr. Olivier Cohen. Additional changes in the Executive resulted in the position VC – Technical is going from Mr. Jeff Byerley to Mr. Robert Grubiša, VC – InfoComms passes from Mr. Pedro Egea to Josip Marasović, and the position of Treasurer formally transferring from Mr. David Turton to Mr. Sean Wallis. Pedro Egea deserves special recognition, as he’s tirelessly served our group with IT and “common sense” support for now eleven years — you are a genuine rockstar!! VC Measurement position is vacant, but we wanted also to congratulate Mr. Lawrie Neish, a true veteran who was helping us for around 11 years!! Gentlemen, you all deserve our heartfelt thanks for your service, and be assured we will raise a glass on your behalf.

As COVID continues to be a present challenge for all of us, I’d like to conclude this greeting with a note of  enthusiasm .  Always remember why the IOM Class is held in such high esteem in so many different countries,  surviving the test of time!  No matter how technologically advanced and exceptional IOM sailboats become in future, we will always rely on an overwhelming and continued desire to explore all facets and possibilities to improve performance and everyone’s experience in the end.  We need to continue to push our limits in all sectors of this class, and convey that information in an  open  and  democratic  fashion. This voice needs to be expressed beyond just our annual vote, but vocalized at every race, regatta, start, and buoy rounding, and literally every metre moving forward. Whether you are sailing at a top international regatta or having a twilight club race with friends, you are all part of this active global  IOM family . We are all facing challenges and uncertainty in our daily lives, but we do not have to question our passion and commitment to IOM. Through your individual activities and support, each of you is responsible for helping make this class what it is now and will ultimately become. Our growth and transformation evolve only when you  participate ,  experiment , and continue to  explore , so your engagement is crucial to our success in the future. We look forward to seeing you at future regattas, active in our forums and chats, social media and in photos. The year 2021 is at the very end, but we are just getting started, so let us all continue our story  together .

– Josip Marasović, new VC InfoComms

The IOMICA Technical Sub Committee is dedicated to maintaining the technical integrity of the International One Metre model yacht in the best interests of IOM class owners world-wide.

The IOMICA Events Sub Committee is a committed group of international IOM sailors, who are dedicated in bringing you the very best of IOM championships.

The IOMICA InfoComms Sub Committee takes care of the IOMICA website and the forum.

The IOMICA Measurement Sub Committee is responsible for the class measurement rules.

International One Metre (IOM)

The class was created in 1988 by Jan Dejmo aided by Graham Bantock and the Technical Committee of the IMYRU (predecessor of IRSA).  It has continued to grow steadily since its creation. Although carbon fibre is allowed in the construction of the fin and rudder, construction of the hull must be of either wood or glass fibre. Spars shall be of alloy or timber and the sails are to 'One Design' sizes. 

The number of rigs is limited to three. This makes the class very popular for amateur builders and many designers have plans for competitive boats. Builders who can supply kits for home completion or completed boats are plentiful.

The International One Meter class (IOM) is the most popular and most competitive international class in the world. The class is administered by the International One Meter Class Association. They hold World Championships every two years as well as European Championships in the non-Worlds years. Approximately 40 countries around the world sail this class, most of them holding National Championships annually.

In Australia, over 2000 boats have been registered up to the year 2020. There is an active circuit of racing with each of the States holding their own State Championships as well as Regional events. These events count towards a National ranking system, which is used to select Australian participants in International regattas.

At the other end of the spectrum, the IOM class is a great class for local clubs to sail. The boats are small enough to be easily transported and handled, whilst being large enough to sail really well. Most of the clubs in South Australia sail the IOMs and there is an active calendar of events.

Details of the class:  Box class,   One Design rigs Glass hulls, carbon foils and alloy spars Hull length 1 metre Displacement 4 kgs Draught 420 mm Sail area 0.6 m²

Further details about the class can be found at the website of IOMICA:  www.iomclass.org

The RC division has been sailing at Wangi since 2020, initially racing the Dragon Force 65 (DF65) class which is the fastest growing one design class in the world. Beginning in October 2022 the club will also race the Dragon Flight 95 (DF95) and the International 1 Metre (IOM) classes.

DF65s sail at 5pm on Thursday evenings during Daylight Saving and at 10am on Sunday Morning during Winter. DF95s sail at 10am on Sunday mornings during Daylight Saving and at 1.30pm on Sunday afternoons during Winter. IOMs Sail at 1.30pm on Sunday afternoons during Daylight Saving and 10am on Saturday mornings in Winter. All weekend sailing is fortnightly. Sailing Programs are available via the links above.

Sailing is at the Wangi RSL jetty with Sailors meeting at the Wangi RSL Amateur Sailing Club around 30 min before the scheduled start time. Our race days are run as a mini regatta type event in which we try to run 10 races over 2 hours (wind permitting) so if you get a bad start there is always the next race.

For the latest information see our facebook page: Lake Macquarie West Radio Sailing Club | Facebook

Come and have a talk to the WASC sailors on one of our race days and have a try.

Our foundation Class is the DF65 which is the fastest growing and most popular RC class in Australia. They are now raced at over 50 clubs in Australia with over 1800 boats racing. They are popular in a large and growing number of countries around the world.

The DF65 was developed in 2013 as a strictly one design mass produced boat (but it also conforms to the rules of the RG65 development class). Boats are manufactured by Joysway and sold exclusively in Australia by Hobby warehouse in Melbourne. They are 650mm long, 1300mm high and have a draft of 390mm.

The class permits 4 rig sizes although we are presently only permitting 3 rigs at Wangi (A+, A & B). Boats are sold as a kit with one rig (A rig) and everything needed to race including carbon fibre spars and mylar sails, stand and controller for $247 (V6) of $299 (V7) (prices as at September 2022). Kits can also be purchased without Radio Parts, allowing higher spec 3rd party equipment to be used at a small increase in cost, and it is recommended that prospective sailors drop in for a chat before buying. Assembly takes only a couple of hours using the provided well written instructions. There are also many assembly, tuning and racing videos on Youtube. These boats are also highly portable unlike many other RC Yachts which can cost 10 times more.

Purchase details:

Joysway DragonForce 65 V7 - RTR (includes Transmitter & Receiver) at Hobby Warehouse

The DF95 is slightly bigger than the DF65 at 95 cm long, 1470mm overall hight, with a draft of 350mm and is also also manufactured by Joysway and sold exclusively in Australia by Hobby warehouse in Melbourne. The DF95 is a later design than the DF65 with the latest version being V2. While not yet as popular as the DF65 the DF95 is gaining in popularity and is often sailed in the same clubs as DF65s. Again DF95s are allowed 4 rig sizes (A, B, C & D) and a complete V2 kit can be purchased with a standard A rig for $429. All 4 Rigs are permitted for racing at Wangi. As with the DF65 The DF95 kits can be purchased with or without Radio equipment and the same 3rd party equipment used in the DF65 can be used in the DF95.

Joysway DragonFlight 95 V2 - RTR (includes Transmitter & Receiver) at Hobby Warehouse

The IOM class is a development class with many available designs from a variety of manufacturers. Hulls may be 3D printed and 3D printer files can be purchased. The boats must fit within a class measurement rule. Members can provide advice on where to buy new or second hand boats. Second Hand boats may cost upwards of $600 and pricing for new boats with three rigs, rig box and Futuba transmitter is between six to seven thousand dollars.

Come and have a talk to the WASC sailors and have a try.
