Schools Project
Whilst putting together the Micro 540 class rules it was very much our belief that a model yacht of this size would be an ideal starting point for schools and youth groups to use as a design & technology project.
With this in mind the rules have been made to allow a lot of freedom of design for the hull form within the limits of the box, whilst keeping a tight restriction on sail area and shapes. This has been a winning formula with class such as the IOM and tends to produce close fleet racing which means better racing and is more fun for all concerned.
Should you wish to know more about using this class as a starting point for a youth project, the people behind instigating the class are very willing to assist in any way they can please contact either Peter Shepherd or Peter Jackson by email and we will do our best to assist you.
