ISMA Replica Rule (proposed 2007) ISMA News International 6mJI Association ISMA will allow a new construction to an old design provided that it is built in accordance with the original drawings in terms of shape and the original authentic building methods and materials. Authenticity is recommended not only in the hull construction but also in deck gear and rigging. ISMA shall further allow construction of a new Six Metre yacht built to an old design to race as a classic Six Metre provided the following requirements are met: 1. The construction shall be strictly in accordance with the 6mR Class‘s scantling rules and regulations. 2. The International Six Metre Association, (ISMA) shall be kept informed of the progress during the building stages and the Class Measurer shall inspect the boat and issue the final Measurement Certificate, upon completion of the finished hull. 3. The use of cold-molded plywood or GRP/epoxy sheeting on the hull is not allowed. To insure the above is met the following mechanism is recommended: 1. Upon learning that replica plans have been issued, a member of the Technical Committee (TC) will contact the owner with the goal to guide the owner and builder through the process. 2. ISMA will obtain a full set of scantlings for 6-8-12 available and send out copies free of charge to serious replica planners. (Lloyd’s R-Rules of 1924-1949) 3. The yard has to submit their plan to the ISMA TC which has to be approved for material use, weight and weight distribution. 4. One or more ISMA TC members are appointed as the project surveyor/supervisor, the yard is visited during construction and supported in every possible way. 5. Chief Measurer Guy-Roland Perrin measures the boat after construction and surveys for adherence to the Scantling Rules. The Chief Measurer may subrogate his responsibilities to another qualified measurer, if necessary. 6. No glass fibre/epoxy sheeting of new hulls is allowed. 7. ISMA will compile a database of available destroyed designs that are encouraged to be re-built. 8. Those who wish to build a replica will be responsible for any royalty payment or fees due to the intellectual property owner of a design. 9. No duplicate names or sail numbers will be allowed.
ISMA News International 6mJI Association Bulletin 1/2007 Rationale In addition to the lessons learned in the IEMA, the following rationale is offered in support of the above outline proposal: … 1. In some areas of the World there is now a shortage of available yachts to restore. 2. The cost of a full restoration is well documented as more time consuming and expensive than new construction. 3. Many potential owners are not interested in a full restoration “project” boat. 4. The availability of suitable plans and support will influence the choice of boats built, thereby minimizing the concern that a one design six meter will emerge 5. The desire to build to a design of a favorite designer will further diversify our fleet. 6. Current owners do not own the design of those yachts, only the physical yacht itself. The intellectual property resides with the designer, his/her heirs or designates, the corporate entity for which they toiled, or to the public domain. Next Steps Feedback is encouraged… to Matt Cockburn There was so many email exchange about the replica subject that we can not publish this in the ISMA bulletin. We are confident, that the Classic Committee will find a valuable, final „replica rule“. Note from Beat Furrer, ISMA news editor. © Jürg Bollier END OF OFFICIAL ISMA NEWS
