Dinghy Exhibition, Alexandra Palace 2010
At this years show will be Steve Clarke's new AC, Jet, a boat designed to challenge old ideas throw in a few new concepts and be deliberately different just for the hell of it. New ideas include; radically different deck layout as a styling exercise; under deck full length spinnaker chute with large mouth and roller to reduce friction; simplified non pumped spinnaker uphaul/downhaul; high modulus skinny spinnaker pole down centre line with open "canyon" and cover; higher raised foredeck with clean no strings layout; complete carbon finish deck; central mast step and control line centre; new high aspect foils; high modulus 44mm diameter mast and boom; outriggers with sliding inner seat and lighweight carriage; corrector pockets. Visiting the stand will be Terry Cooke from Aardvark Spars who can now make a set of foils and spars for you as demonstrated on Jet. Showing the latest in new rules boats, Phil Robin's Scarlet O'Hara will be upside down to illustrate one of the hull shape designs and one which shows great promise for British boats competing at International events. Come along and join the party, there may be a few drinks to be had on Saturday evening at a local hostelry so why not make a weekend of it. Volunteers for the stand please. Contact Andy Biden. |

Are you ready for the ultimate sailing challenge? The IC is simply one of the fastest singlehanded boats afloat. This derives from its unique design, adopting the narrow hull form inherited from its ancient canoe origins, together with the famous sliding seat. For 2009, the exciting canoe format has now been extended to allow for different interests; Asymmetric Canoe (AC) - representing the largest fleet in the UK, the AC is based on the Nethercot hull design with asymmetric spinnaker. Hull shape is strictly one design with freedom to vary, foils, rig sails, fittings and deck layout within specified limits. The main rig is limited to 10 square metres but the asymmetric spinnaker size is unlimited. Most have setled on 23 square metres as being the maximum practical size. New Rules IC (IC) The new rules canoe is no longer restricted to a one design hull shape and can be developed within a broad set of defined box measurements. Sail area is still limited to 10m2 but a single mainsail una rig is now permitted. There are many ways now to enjoy modern canoe sailing, offering plenty of challenges and excitement. As with all things in life, the greater the challenge, the greater the reward. Once the canoe is mastered, you will experience one of the most exhilarating thrill that sailing can offer. |
