From the editors 

Fellow FD sailors, 

Again it was not an easy job to present you 

with this new issue of the FD Bulletin, but 

with the encouraging help of many sailors 

and photographers we managed to put something 

nice together. Many thanks for your 

input and please do continue to send your 

comments, articles, reports and remarks to 

fdbulletin@gmail.com. 

So what do we have for you this time? 

Of course, as ever, an enthousiastic letter 

from our President, Dott. Alberto Barenghi. 

We are greatful for his uplifting contribution. 

Dr. Gizmo shines his light on the cleat. The 

result is an interesting story about a guy called 

Curry and one of his many inventions. 

This should refresh your memories a bit. 

Our Chief Measurer John Best explains the 

ins and outs of some new rule changes. It 

seems that there is a bit of confusion, but let’s 

be confident that his explanation will be sufficient. 

Co-editor Casper made the trip to Altea with 

helmsman (and father) Fred and had a chat 

with Gines Romero, one of the Spanish top 

FD-sailors. It happened to turn out in a serious 

interview. 

Naturally you will find results from around 

the world, pictures and the equipment list of 

the WC. 

We hope that this FD Bulletin will inspire 

you for the coming season. 

Be careful flying out on the water! 

Happy Sailing,

Presidents letter 

Dear friends, 

I thank all of you for the increasing success of 

the FD Class during the 2007 sailing season, 

as shown by the interest of new sailors in the 

FD and our Class activity. 

Congratulations and many thanks to 

the Centro de Alto Rendimento in Murcia, 

the Organizing Committee and to the FD 

Spanish Class for the excellent organization 

of the 2007 World Championships, in which 

72 teams from 14 countries competed. 

Moreover, the increasing success of the Euro 

Cup and World Cup events show that the 

strategy to schedule the International races 

calendar with specific and advertised events, 

scheduled in different countries, seems to 

kindle the interest of the sailors to increase 

their participation in the races and to be 

involved in Class life. 

As always, many thanks to all the Clubs organizing 

the FD races every year, since they 

help our Class to support and go on to organize 

the classical events that have become a 

tradition in the annual FD fixtures. 

With regard to the women FD teams, my best 

congratulations to the German Peggy Bahr, 

the Spanish Dolores Sanchez-Herrero and 

the Dutch Tanja Heijink for their results and 

participation in the most important 

International races. 

With regard to the technical matters, the increasing 

number of carbon riggings adopted 

by teams from all countries (in the 

International races, more than 40% of the 

fleet adopted the carbon profiles) shows the 

success of this new tool in the technical development 

of the FD. 

The manufacturers, from different countries 

in the world (UK, Australia, Italia etc.), are 

going ahead to push the evolution of carbon 

riggings (mast, boom and spinnaker pole with 

different profiles, stiffness and fitting) to 

reach the best performance and reliability at 

the minimum weight that, according to the 

Class rules, will be 8.5 kg. 

The competition among the manufacturers 

and the increasing interest of the teams to 

4 

compare different technical solutions will 

allow the carbon riggings to have a further 

and fast evolution. 

With regard to Class life and promotion there 

is some important news. 

In spring 2008, the first three years of the 

sponsorship agreement between the IFDCO 

and Harken Sailing Wear will end. 

During these first three years of the sponsorship 

contract Harken Sailing Wear supplied 

our Class with several clothes of their sportswear 

collections. 

Two weeks ago I went to the Winch - Harken 

Sailing Wear headquarters, where I met the 

team managers. During that excellent meeting 

the IFDCO and Winch confirmed their 

reciprocal interest in their brands and so, we 

agreed to go on with a new sponsorship 

agreement until the end of 2012. 

In a few weeks Winch will show me the next 

spring-summer and fall-winter collections for 

2008. Moreover, besides the actual Harken 

Sailing Wear, WINCH will add a further collection 

with several models inspired by the 

FD’s history and emotion. 

Those clothes, sporting both the Harken - 

Winch and IFDCO logos, will be available for 

each FD Class member with a special discount. 

In detail, the Harken Crew Collection will 

always be available with several clothes (jackets, 

polos, gilets, t-shirts etc.) in several 

colours and sizes. Moreover, every 

year Winch will develop and produce fallwinter 

and spring-summer collections, in 

which some articles will be selected that show 

the IFDCO logo. 

As always, it will be possible to look at the 

Harken Sportswear Collections with the FD 

logo on the IFDCO website and in the FD 

Bulletin. Moreover, there will be a link 

between the IFDCO and the Harken website. 

Together with a lot of enthusiastic sailors who 

have granted the worldwide success of the 

FD Class Harken will be inspired by the most 

peculiar feature of the FD Class: to be sporting 

high-tech and innovative solutions. 

For the same reason, the IFDCO has chosen 

Harken Sailing Wear as brand to 

perform the sportswear for the FD 

teams. 

The IFDCO, selling the sportswear 

to the Class members, will collect 

money to spend for the Class promotion, 

advertisement and activity. 

For instance, it will be very important 

to help the young and new FD 

sailors, increase the participation to 

specific events and support the 

transport of boats attending the 

World Championships overseas. 

In 2007 the result of that strategy 

SLO-1 Luka Tomori & Urban Jan 

allowed the IFDCO to give a grant of 

€ 900 to every container shipped to Spain 

from overseas, attending the Worlds in Mar 

Menor. 

That represents just the first step of the 

IFDCO’s activities to support our teams. 

Anyway, that process requires time and the 

cooperation of Class members, National 

Secretaries, etc. to show and improve the 

advantages to the sailors. 

Again in 2008, the IFDCO will be engaged in 

selling the sailing wear in order to give grants 

to support the IFDCO’s activities, in particular 

the shipping of containers to the next 

Worlds in New Zealand. 

With regard to the sailing activity in 2008, 

besides the classical races—and particularly 

the Euro Cup events—we’ll meet in Rabac 

(Croatia) next May to attend the European 

Championships there. 

The meeting in Rabac will be the best chance 

to award the Euro Cup and Dawes Cup for 

2007. Moreover, we will have the 

Competitors Hearings, the National 

Secretaries’ meeting and the AGCM. 

With regard to the sailing activity in 2008, 

however, the most important news will be the 

Vintage Yachting Games: the event that has 

been proposed one year ago by Dutch sailor 

Rudy den Outer, ex FD sailor and currently 

Soling helmsman. 

Rudy proposed to create and organize a 

event comparable to the Olympic Games, 

aimed at the former Olympic Classes. For this 

reason he contacted me for the Flying 

Dutchman. 

The event will be organized every four years, 

like the Olympiade. The first edition will be 

held in Medemblik, Holland, on 20- 

27 September 2008. 

I showed this proposal to the IFDCO 

Officers at the last AGCM and the National 

Secretaries’ Meeting in Spain and it was 

agreed to join the Vintage Yachting Games. 

The other Classes involved will be: Europe, 

O-Jolle, Soling and Dragon. 

The aims of the VYG have been explained, as 

well as the selection criteria to adopt by every


CRO-51 

Tin Matulja & Robin Matulja 

Class, through the International Classes and 

their National Secretaries. The VYG goal will 

be to have 2 boats per Country in every Class. 

Personally, I think that the VYG represent a 

particular event that is excellently suitable to 

remember the history of our Class and advertise 

and promote our Class to the media, network, 

sponsors and to the sailors. 

With regard to the Measurement Committee, 

according to my proposal, the VYG decided to 

appoint John Best as Chief Measurer in the 

event. 

Anyway, the Notice of Race for the VYG 2008 

is quite ready and will be sent to every FD 

National Secretary in a few days. 

The season 2008 will go on with the classical 

races and the “Conrad Gulcher Trophy”, 

a classical event for the FD Class, as 

always organized by the Loosdrecht Sailing 

Club. 

Finally, we ‘ll have the World Championships 

in Napier, New Zealand during the Christmas 

holidays. 

Many sailors seem interested to attend the 

Worlds and, as always, Frank Nooijen will be 

engaged to provide us with the best solution 

for transportation. 

Strengthened by the IFDCO’s team approach 

and the friendship among all the Officers, 

Commodores, Sub Committees and National 

Secretaries, we will continue to promote, 

advertise and develop the FD Class in every 

way. 

Together with new sponsorships to support 

Class activities and events it is very important 

to promote the FD Class to the media, network 

and sponsors and to improve the 

IFDCO website. 

For this purpose it was agreed to develop the 

website’s graphics and aesthetic aspects: it is 

quite ready and will be online in a few weeks. 

Let’s commit ourselves all together, in order 

to support and quicken every process to 

advertise the FD! 

Finally, let me thank all the FD sailors and the 

IFDCO Officers engaged in the life and activities 

of our Class. 

I ‘m looking forward to meeting all of you and 

I wish everyone good sailing in 2008! 

Alberto 

Interview with Gines Romero - Altea, 9 February 2008 

Ten years ago the Spanish FD class was almost 

history. Today Spain has one of the most active 

Flying Dutchman fleets around the world. The 

man responsible for this success is Gines 

Romero, the well-known helmsman of the 

ESP-6. We tried to see what he had to say 

about all this himself. 

(by Casper Schaaf) 

Could you introduce yourself? 

My name is Gines Romero. I started to sail 

when I was four years old, with my father on 

the Mar Menor. 

In what kind of boat? 

We had a very old wooden boat, very strong 

and heavy; 5 metres or something. I broke my 

first mast there on the Mar Menor – a wooden 

mast – with my father. 

I started racing more or less seriously in the 

420 and I tried my first Flying Dutchman in ‘76 

in a Spanish championship when I was 17 

years old. Francisco Martinez, now ESP-81, 

was my crew; he was 19 years old. We were 

third! We came from the 420 and only one 

week before the championship we tried the 

FD. We’d lent a boat, we did this race and it 

was okay. 

And afterwards? 

After the 420 I sailed the 470 from 1982 until 

1989. Then from ‘89 till ‘94 I sailed the Soling 

and finally the FD again, during the European 

Championship in Murcia in 1997, eleven years 

ago. Besides that I did some Vaurien and 

Snype as well, but seriously only 420, 470, 

Soling and FD. 

I heard you were quite successfull in the Soling. 

Yes, I prepared the Barcelona Olympics in 

Soling. I was in the pre-Olympic team, but 

wasn’t selected to go. I was successfull in Spain 

– among the best 6 teams or so - , especially 

with strong wind. Actually, I’ve always been at 

my best with a lot of wind, in the 470 as well. 

Internationally, though, I didn’t do so well. 

Actually, I see myself as a better trainer than a 

sailor. I know very well how to do it, but I 

don’t know how to do it, if you know what I 

mean. I prefer to teach others than to do it 

myself. I’m not very intuitive, I’m a worker. 

When I go well it’s because I train many hours 

and prepare the boat many hours, but I’m not 

so efficient. 

It’s exactly like the Bojsen-Møllers said: hours 

and hours upon the water and then you can do 

well. 

Some people do very well with not so many 

hours. Luis Doreste (winner of the Flying 

Dutchman gold medal in the Barcelona 

Olympics – CS), for example, sailed more with 

intuition than training. I think, in general, 

Spanish sailors are more intuitive than workers. 

Yes, if you look at Marco Sevila. He’s just 17 

and already shows a lot of talent. 

Yes, he’s the future of the Spanish class. 

So you started sailing FD again in 1997. What 

made you decide to do that? 

Yes, after I’d stopped sailing for three or four 

years - because of my daughters and work and 

such things – I started again to sail the Flying 

Dutchman in 1997. You see, for me it’s impossible 

to stay without sailing. I was working 

too much during those years and I needed to 

sail again. I selected the Flying Duthman 

because it’s not an Olympic class. It’s the boat 

of my dreams, but not Olympic, which was 

perfect for me at that time. I was very tired of 

Olympic classes, with the Soling and 470. In 

both classes I tried to be in the Olympic 

Games – Los Angeles in 1984 and Barcelona 

in 1992 – but finally the environment was too 

competitive for me. 

And the Spanish FD class at that time? 

I became the Secretary of the class. The 

Spanish class was absolutely dead in 1997; 

there were only one or two other boats 

besides myself at that time. But we pushed 

and pushed, convinced one guy, another guy 

and now the class has about twenty boats. 

Not all of them sailing, but well. 

No, but you have some very good teams. 

There’s about 6 or 7 really good teams in 

Spain. 

Yes, two years ago in the Spanish champi- 

5


onship we beat the record.We were sailing on 

the Mar Menor then and apart from a few 

foreign teams there were 17 Spanish boats in 

the water. I think that was the absolute 

record in the history of the Spanish Flying 

Dutchman class. 

So, since 1997 it’s been going upwards constantly? 

Every year a bit more? 

Well, in the last two years it’s been going a little 

bit down. I’m a bit tired: always pushing, 

pushing, pushing forwards, calling people to 

go to the races. If people needed a boat, I’d 

look for a boat here and there. It’s very hard 

work and I have my own work! 

What kind of work do you do? 

I work for big multinational consultancy firm, 

Cap Gemini, where I’m managing the 

Barcelona, Valencia and Murcia offices. I’ve 

been working with Cap Gemini for the last 

twenty years. 

And at the moment you are still the Spanish 

National secretary? 

Yes, but I’m trying to convince Javier Higuera 

– the crew of Dolores, ESP-9 – to take over 

the job. I can help him, but I prefer that he 

pushes. Otherwise I’m afraid the Spanish 

class may be going down again. In the last two 

years I’ve not been pushing the same as 

before. 

Last year’s World Championship, you still 

organised that? 

No, I didn’t, it was organised by the Murcia 

Federation. We helped a little bit, but the 

6 

FD 

organisation was theirs. 

I thought they did quite a nice job. 

I don’t agree. I didn’t like the organisation. 

Why not? 

I thought it was a bit ordinary.The sailing was 

okay, but the organisation wasn’t so good. 

Yes, I suppose they didn’t really try hard for us. 

We were probably their tenth championship 

that year or something. 

Yes, this was the problem. They tried to do 

too many events in one year. But the venue 

there is fantastic, for sailing. The weather was 

not the usual weather in this stage of the year 

though. Only during the last day we sailed 

with the typical wind there. Normally the 

wind is more like the week before, during the 

Spanish Championchips. 

And what do you think about the Worlds in 

New Zealand? 

We want to go there. There are four or five 

teams interested in the possibility of going. 

We are talking to a shipping company about 

containers, but I’m not sure. Three or four 

Spanish boats should really be possible 

though. We’ll probably have to share a container 

with the Italians or something like that. 

Because of the container business the next 

Euro Cup in Altea will be a problem, I’m 

afraid. 

Yes, we should probably move the event. 

Maybe in March or April; maybe Easter, I 

don’t know. The best way to do it would be to 

send the containers directly from Napier to 

Valencia actually. But we’ll talk with the 

Altea sailing club and we’ll try to get it 

moved. 

Have you thought about the Europeans in 

Croatia already? 

Yes, we’ll organize some training weekends 

here in Altea to prepare for Croatia. The 

event is a bit early for me because I’m still 

working then, but I’ll certainly try to be there. 

And probably about 4 other Spanish teams as 

well. 

If I may ask, how old are you now? 

I’m 49, since last Sunday. 

NORTH SAILS GULF COAST 

And what are you plans for the future? Just 

FD? 

I plan to compete in the Flying Dutchman 

maybe 5 years more. I don’t think I’ll stay in 

the class until 60. Last year I bought a new 

boat which I plan to sail for another four or 

five years, but not a new boat. 

What did you sail with before this boat? 

The one I started with in 1997 was an old one 

I bought from Anton Schwarz, with a wooden 

deck, from 1985 I think. I sailed with that 

until the championship in Elba, in 2000. 

Before Gilleleje in 2001 I drove past Mader 

to pick up a new boat. That’s the boat 

Dolores is sailing with now, with the yellow 

deck.And so, last year I bought a new Mader. 

I think this will be my last Flying Dutchman 

boat. The boat is like my body though, it gets 

older but it’s still going on. 

Now offering the Bi-radial RX- 

1 Main, New Spinnaker, and 

proven Genoas.

Dr. Gizmo’s physics chat corner 

Manfred Curry’s legacy 

Manfred Curry was born in Germany in 1899, 

emigrated to the US and became a citizen of 

that country. He died in 1953, just in time to 

witness the birth of our beloved FD. He actually 

sailed in one of the prototypes of the boat. 

Curry was, and probably still is, the most successful 

German born yacht racer. He bagged 

more than 1000 victories. But even more than 

through his yacht racing, Curry’s legacy lives 

on because of his work as a sailing-aerodynamics 

pioneer and through his inventions. It 

was Curry who first introduced a jib that overlapped 

with the mainsail. He, very successfully, 

first used this jib in a regatta near the 

Italian town of Genoa in the 1930’s.As a result 

of this success the ‘Genoa’, as it was henceforth 

called, remained there to stay. 

Curry’s true ticket to fame, however, was his 

invention of a device that nowadays is featured 

in multitude on almost any sailing boat: 

the cam cleat. In German, and also in the 

Dutch language, this cleat bears the name of 

its inventor: Curryklemme. Of course, 

Anglophonic sailors cannot stomach the 

thought of referring to a German and consequently 

never use the term. Rather would 

they honor Briggs Swift Cunningham II, who 

invented nothing less that the hole in the sail 

that proudly bears his name. The French, for 

whom the world ends at the frontiers of their 

beloved ‘Hexagon’, refrain from ever mentioning 

Curry’s name; they irreverently call 

the cleat a ‘taquet coinceur’. And the Italians? 

Well, are they aware that the Roman empire 

ceased to exist some time ago? 

Simple as its principle may seem, Curry’s cam 

cleat is a much cleverer device than meets the 

eye at first sight. Its secret lies in the geometry 

of its two jaws each of which is shaped like a 

part of a mathematical object called the logarithmic 

spiral. This spiral, shown in Fig. 1, has 

18 

a number of distinguished features: it is a self 

similar graph, which means that from whatever 

distance it is viewed, it always looks identical. 

Secondly, if we look at the angle at which 

any part of the spiral intersects a straight line 

extending out from the origin to infinity, we 

see that this angle is always the same, as is 

immediately clear from Fig. 1. Likewise, the 

spiral intersects any circle at the same angle. 

This angle is called the pitch of the spiral. The 

spiral forms a constant-angle curve and it is 

this property that gives cam cleats their essential 

properties: they hold a variety of rope 

diameters and their holding power is independent 

of this diameter and they always hold 

tight, independent of the force on the rope. 

Also, the cleat is insensitive to the precise 

direction of the pull of the rope. 

A special logarithmic spiral is one with a pitch 

of about 17 0 . This so-called golden spiral is 

closely related to the Fibonacci series and the 

Golden Ratio, both favorites in mathematics 

as well as in renaissance art. The pitch of the 

jaws of Curry’s cleat is slightly bigger, typically 

about 20 0 . 

Fig. 1. A logarithmic spiral with a pitch of 10 0 . 

Nature seems to have a preference for mathematical 

beauty and, indeed, logarithmic spirals 

appear all around us: for example in the shape 

of the shells of certain mollusks, in tropical 

storms (see Fig. 2), and in spiral galaxies. An 

interesting technical application is the so 

called ‘friend’, a device inserted into vertical 

cracks by rock climbers as protection against 

falls. The friend is basically an inverted cam 

cleat (see the drawing at the right of Fig. 2). 

How cam cleats work 

Let us have a look at exactly how the cam 

cleat manages to prevent a rope from slipping. 

Firstly, let us ignore the fact that the jaws of 

the cleat have a jagged inner edge and that the 

rope is fluffy and compressible. Now look at 

Fig. 3. The beak of the cleat is represented by 

two logarithmic spirals. Of course, in a real 

cleat the jaws form only a segment of the spiral, 

but as long as the rope diameter is in the 

right range this does not matter. If we analyze 

the forces on the rope and the cleat, we see the 

following: the rope is held taught by a tension 

force T. If the rope is not to slip, each cam of 

the cleat must supply half this force as a reaction 

force. This reaction force originates from 

the axel of the cam. Looking at Fig. 3 we see 

that the torque exerted by this pair of forces 

tends to make the blades of the cleat rotate. 

This rotation is prevented because the rope 

pushes back on the cams. The balance of 

torques requires that the size if this so called 

‘normal’ force N be just ½T times the ratio of 

the two lever arms.This ratio is 1/ tan α, where 

a is the pitch of the spiral. For a = 20 0 the ratio 

is slightly bigger than 3 and it does not depend 

on the width of the gap between the jaws. The 

rope will stay put if the friction force that the 

cleat can supply is large enough. It is a wellestablished 

fact in physics that the maximum 

friction between two objects is just the normal 

force multiplied by a constant called the coefficient 

of friction. This friction coefficient 

depends on the two materials and to some 

extent on surface roughness.Thus, we find that 

our cleat works if the friction coefficient 

between our rope and the material of the 

cams is bigger than tan a or about 1/3. It clearly 

is. Even if we were to replace the rope by a 

Fig. 2. Examples of logarithmic spirals in nature and technology: Nautilus shell tropical storm and the cams of a ‘friend’, a device used as fall protection 

in rock climbing.


wooden rod, the cleat would still hold it. If 

you have a cam cleat in your tool box you 

can try it at home if you don’t believe me. 

The cleat will not hold a polished steel rod: 

The friction coefficient between this material 

and the aluminum of the jaws is below 1/3. 

Fig. 3 Forces on the blades of a cam cleat: 

The ratio of the normal force N and the tension 

and friction forces T/2 is set by the nonrotation 

equilibrium of the blades. This ratio 

depends only on the pitch of the spiral and 

is equal to tan α. 

You don’t have to be a rocket engineer to 

reinvent the wheel. It appears though that it 

helps if you want to reinvent the cam cleat. 

In 1978, a guy called Ray Jardine who was an 

aeronautics engineer, as well as a keen rock 

climber, invented the already mentioned 

‘friend’, a spring loaded camming device for 

rock climbing based on the logarithmic spiral. 

These devices are designed to withstand 

shock loads of a falling climber which can 

easily exceed 10 times his body weight. As 

with our cleats, friends, in principle, always 

hold, because the friction coefficient 

between the aluminum blades and the rock 

exceeds the tangent of the pitch angle of the 

blades (which in this case is about 14 0 ). The 

normal force exerted by the rock on the 

cams can be several tons. Climbers can be 

fairly confident that the device does not slip 

and they can only hope that their friend can 

withstand the huge forces without breaking 

apart. Fortunately for them, most of the time 

their hope is vindicated. 

Anyway, the next time you sail and you pull 

in the sheet of your genoa and lodge it firmly 

into its Curryklemme, spare a thought for 

Herr Dr. Manfred.

HARKEN Sponsorship letter 

HARKEN Sailing Wear recently signed an 

important sponsorship agreement 

to become Official Supplier of the 

International Flying Dutchman Class 

Organization. As of the autumn-winter collection 

in 2005-2006 HARKEN 

Sailingwear will offer several models 

inspired by the FD’s history and emotion. 

Together with a lot of enthusiastic sailors, 

who granted the worldwide success of the 

FD Class, we ‘ll reach the American, 

Australian and New Zealand coasts, as well 

as the European Lakes, the Mediterranean 

and the Northern European nations. Harken 

will be inspired by the most remarkable feature 

of the FD Class: competing in the race 

for high tech and innovative solutions. For 

the same reason IFDCO chose Harken 

Sailing Wear as sponsor to supply sportswear 

for the FD teams. 

Both parties are aware that research and 

innovation are invaluable in the sport of 

dinghy racing. 

Having our glances always aimed towards 

the future, together we’ll begin this experience.

Measurement thoughts 

This year’s rule changes 

You will all be well aware that this year there 

are a few rule changes taking place. One, the 

mast weight, has been eagerly awaited, but 

there are various others which I will try to put 

into context. 

New Rule 

58. The Weight of the Mast (excluding trapeze 

hooks, shroud length adjustment systems 

and baby stays) must not be less than a 

minimum of 8.5 kg. Mast corrector weights of 

lead must be permanently attached to the 

mast above the limit mark (band) No.1. 

The height of the centre of gravity of the mast 

must not be less than a minimum of 2500 mm 

above the top of Limit Mark (band) Number 

1. 

The previous rule was crafted in 2004 to allow 

a period of transition for the class to adopt 

carbon masts. This transition period was 

scheduled to end in 2008, and so the carbon 

mast proviso is now superfluous. 

New Rule 

90. RRS 50.4 shall not apply to the FD class. 

RRS 50.4 attempts to define the difference 

between headsails and spinnakers, but unfortunately 

no existing genoas or jibs qualify as 

headsails under this rule. Presumably, therefore, 

they have to be regarded as spinnakers 

and class rule 113 limits the sail inventory for 

a regatta series to only one spinnaker! Thus, 

in order for us to continue to use two genoas 

the class requires to be exempt from RRS 

50.4 as is permitted by the RRS. 

New Rule 

39. Weight 

The hull weight, including all fixed and moveable 

fittings (trapeze hooks, shroud length 

adjustment systems, and baby stays), buoyancy 

apparatus as prescribed in Rules 44-47 

(whether removable or fixed) and running 

gear, but not including main, genoa and spinnaker 

sheets, must not be less than a minimum 

of 130.0 kg. 

The way this rule is now written is just to 

make it clear that these items, which would 

normally be part of the ERS defined rigging, 

are not included in the mast weight but must 

therefore be included in the hull weight. It 

will save all those long and involved discussions 

at measurement, sorry, regatta inspection 

and will allow us all to get on with our 

lives. 

20 

New Rule 

33. Deck 

The deck shall not be higher than 10mm 

above the deck line and must also be below 

the deck line at the mast partners. The deck 

line is the imaginary line between the top of 

the transom at the centreline and the highest 

point of the stem (excluding stem fittings). 

Instruction: Erect a taut line 150 mm above 

both the stem and the top of the transom, i.e. 

parallel to the deck line. The mast partners 

must be at least 150 mm below this line and 

the rest of the deck at least 140 mm below 

this line. 

The original FD rule was that all the deck had 

to be below the deck line and gave the FD its 

aesthetically pleasing lines. Some years ago 

the rule was changed in order to emphasise 

that the mast partners were not allowed to 

support the mast at a point above the deck 

line. The rule 68, for band #1, was also 

changed to require this band to be below the 

deck level (so that this could be easily seen) 

rather than the deck line (which could be an 

arbitrary distance above the deck level). 

It was only recently realised that rule 33 

allows an arched deck, similar to the 505, provided 

only that the mast partners are below 

the deck line. This is definitely not what the 

IFDCO wants. It would be ideal to go back to 

the original deck line, but unfortunately there 

are some FD’s bobbing about out there 

which now have decks which are some 10mm 

above the deck line, and so, to accommodate 

these boats the above rule has been written. 

Call it housekeeping. 

New Rules 

49. The Trapeze Harness may be attached 

directly or indirectly to a trapeze wire or line 

but only by means of a single quick release 

system (2 seconds). The weight of the trapeze 

harness must not exceed a maximum of 4.0 kg 

and shall float after complete immersion. The 

trapeze harness is separate from and shall not 

constitute a personal buoyancy aid, as 

required by rule 78. 78. The following must 

always be carried on board: 

2 paddles, minimum length 1000mm, each of 

minimum weight 0.25 kg. 

2 adequate personal buoyancy aids, defined 

as devices worn around the upper part of the 

torso, capable of 50 N buoyancy and meeting 

the European CEN or an equivalent standard.The 

trapeze harness shall not be considered 

a personal buoyancy aid. 

It is important to emphasize that, although 

the trapeze harness must float, it is not a personal 

buoyancy aid. Furthermore, buoyancy 

added to the back and lower parts of a trapeze 

harness could lead to a crew floating 

upside down, or at least face down. The personal 

buoyancy aid must have floatation on 

the chest and be a separate item of equipment. 

New standards for PFD’s (personal floating 

devices) and the quick release hooks on trapeze 

belts are being developed and will no 

doubt be implemented by ISAF when completed. 

We were presented with a PFD with a 

trapeze hook attached to it, i.e. a combined 

device. This is not acceptable, as FD class 

rules require both a 50N PFD and the trapeze 

belt to float! Although buoyancy built into a 

trapeze harness is acceptable and essential, it 

does not qualify as a PFD. A separate PFD 

for the crew must be on board when racing, 

and worn when the Y Flag is flying. 

New Rule 

71. Except when in the centre plane of the 

mast spar, the central axis of the boom spar 

shall intersect the mast spar centre plane at a 

distance of not more than 60mm from the aft 

edge of the mast spar. 

It was observed that a number of goosenecks 

had the vertical axis of rotation some distance 

from the aft face of the mast. No problem, 

this had the dual advantages of slackening 

the foot tension of the mainsail as one 

bore away and allowing the boom to be carried 

more square on the run. There is no 

intention to forbid this practice, but in the 

interests of safety it is suggested that this be 

limited, if allowed to go to excess this can and 

will put an unacceptable torque on the mast 

and could easily lead to mast failure. 

Specifying such a rule in other classes has 

lead to the above wording. The 60 mm limit 

was chosen by taking a walk around the boat 

park at an International regatta and based on 

common practice in the class. 

There you have it Ladies and Gentlemen.The 

rules may seem a dry old thing to write about, 

but they are there for our Health and safety. 

A bit like speed cameras really; they are 

there for your safety too! When Peter 

Hinrichsen drafted these rules he was doing a 

bit of housework, cleaning up the rule book 

and also ensuring that what we think of as an 

FD remains an FD. If anybody has any 

queries, both Peter and I can be quite easily 

contacted via e-mail or even snail mail.
