<strong>ISMA</strong> Replica Rule (proposed 2007)<br />
<strong>ISMA</strong> <strong>News</strong> International <strong>6mJI</strong> <strong>Association</strong><br />
<strong>ISMA</strong> will allow a new construction to an old design provided that it is built in accordance with the original drawings<br />
in terms of shape and the original authentic building methods and materials. Authenticity is recommended<br />
not only in the hull construction but also in deck gear and rigging.<br />
<strong>ISMA</strong> shall further allow construction of a new Six Metre yacht built to an old design to race as a classic Six Metre<br />
provided the following requirements are met:<br />
1. The construction shall be strictly in accordance with the 6mR Class‘s scantling rules and regulations.<br />
2. The International Six Metre <strong>Association</strong>, (<strong>ISMA</strong>) shall be kept informed of the progress during the building<br />
stages and the Class Measurer shall inspect the boat and issue the final Measurement Certificate, upon completion<br />
of the finished hull.<br />
3. The use of cold-molded plywood or GRP/epoxy sheeting on the hull is not allowed.<br />
To insure the above is met the following mechanism is recommended:<br />
1. Upon learning that replica plans have been issued, a member of the Technical Committee (TC) will contact<br />
the owner with the goal to guide the owner and builder through the process.<br />
2. <strong>ISMA</strong> will obtain a full set of scantlings for 6-8-12 available and send out copies free of charge to serious<br />
replica planners. (Lloyd’s R-Rules of 1924-1949)<br />
3. The yard has to submit their plan to the <strong>ISMA</strong> TC which has to be approved for material use, weight and<br />
weight distribution.<br />
4. One or more <strong>ISMA</strong> TC members are appointed as the project surveyor/supervisor, the yard is visited during<br />
construction and supported in every possible way.<br />
5. Chief Measurer Guy-Roland Perrin measures the boat after construction and surveys for adherence to the<br />
Scantling Rules. The Chief Measurer may subrogate his responsibilities to another qualified measurer, if<br />
necessary.<br />
6. No glass fibre/epoxy sheeting of new hulls is allowed.<br />
7. <strong>ISMA</strong> will compile a database of available destroyed designs that are encouraged to be re-built.<br />
8. Those who wish to build a replica will be responsible for any royalty payment or fees due to the intellectual<br />
property owner of a design.<br />
9. No duplicate names or sail numbers will be allowed.
