Modifications. No modifications or additions or substitutions shall be made to any supplied boat part unless it is specifically detailed in this document.
Manufactured Standard. Only boat parts supplied by the manufacturer shall be used unless specific authorization is given within these rules to allow substitution. These are on the basis that if it does not say something is specifically allowed, it shall not be permitted.
Radio Equipment. Only two channels of radio equipment may be used. (one for the sails and one for the rudder) That radio equipment may feature:- end point adjustment, differential rates and all other methods of altering the response rate and throw of the servos. The equipment may use radio transmissions from the boat (telemetry) that indicate servo position, onboard battery monitoring and radio link information only.
Batteries. These may be of any suitable type for the receiver and servos. Battery voltage monitors are permitted (even encouraged) but a battery switch is optional.
Sailing Weight. The boat and rig in sailing condition must weigh between 7.00 And 7.5Kgs All ballast must be of a density no greater than that of lead (11300kg/m3)
B – Authorised modifications to a standard boat.
Cosmetic Alterations. The hull may be flatted down and painted if desired. The drawing in of a planked deck and additions of scale like cabins is permitted (total sailing weight must not be compromised). Any flatting down process must not alter the profile of any component. A modification to the rear of the keel to stop weed catching on the lower rudder mount may be made provided it is no larger than 20mm fore/aft and 10mm wide and does not extend more than 5mm below the keel.
Electronic and electro mechanical fittings. The sail and rudder servos may be replaced. The material and dimensions of the arm may be altered. Electronic devices may be introduced between the receiver and servos that will limit or extend the throw of those servos. A BEC or voltage regulator may also be used but no form of gyroscope or similar electro/mechanical stabilisation is permitted.
Running rigging can be from any suitable material but adjustments to running rigging must be made by bowsie or sliding grommets only. The Jib topping lift may incorporate a method to stop it catching on the spreaders if desired. The shrouds must be adjusted by turnbuckles.
A jib counterweight may be added if desired. It must not exceed 20gms in weight or its foremost part extend more than 60mm from the end of the boom. The foresail swivel may be replaced with a ballraced device, or a Kevlar/polyester line may be used. The kicker(vang) may be replaced with one of a different design but should not incorporate a vertical plate. The attachment point of the backstay to the deck may be moved if desired.
Replacement sails are limited to those produced by Housemartin sails,

Main boom length min 390mm Jib boom length min 290mm Masthead crane to have maximum length of 60mm and the shall be at 90 degrees to the mast.
The measurement from the mast cap to the stern of the boat with no tension in the backstay shall not be less than 1470mm
The booms must not visibly deviate from straight when not loaded.
The mast shall have no prebend. (i.e. shall be straight when there is no forestay and back stay tension).
Grooved masts and rectangular section booms are not permitted.
Sails shall be made from the same ply throughout and have no more than 3 parts joined by seams.
Sails shall not deviate below a straight line joining the tack and clew.
The material shall be either50 micron film or 140gm Dacron/ scrim
The main sail. Luff Length 1275mm min 1285mm max Leach Length 1325mm min 1335mm max Head width 20mm max Foot Length 380mm min 390mm max 1/3 rd width 275mm min 285mm max 2/3 rd width 155mm min 165mm max Shall have 2 battens of length no greater than 80mm at the position of the seams.

8m Observers • Monday and Thursday are to be treated independently. • If there are more than 12 helms then observers are to be used. • Initial selection will be based on the sign up list for the days racing (first to sign up is first to observe). • Subsequent selection will be made starting with helms that did not observe the previous week. • Observers sail numbers to be noted on the bottom lines of the result sheet, they will be awarded average points for the race they miss. • It must be remembered that observers should only call starting errors and contact between boats. They should note down if penalty turns are not done after an incident and also note down if a boat passes the wrong side of a buoy or sails the wrong course. • The observer must not operate as “judge and jury”. • The observers are there to assist the race officer particularly at the start and finish of each race. • An observers observations may be used by the race officer to disqualify helms from a race where, for example, the correct course was not sailed.

Hi! Does anyone have a metric weight from a set of scales that they no longer use. Needs to be 1 kilo or less. To be used for resetting club scales when measuring.
