Marine Modelling International 06/2013

I try when possible to give each of these columns a theme, and this one seems to be 'value for money', which is quite sensible in the present economic climate. It so happens that the IOM circus came to town recently and we might as well start with this class which so dominates numerically almost all MYA club and radio racing. The MYA designates six single day events per year as 'Ranking Races' for this class and they are held as back-to-back events over three weekends in different regions each year. The points accrued go to establish the selection order for the upcoming international events and this year there is a World Championships scheduled in Israel in September. Thus the two events over the weekend of 2nd/3rd March at the Portishead lake of Woodspring MSC were critical in being the last chance for keen skippers to maximise their ranking position before the selection process.
