Racing Rules of Sailing
The MYA sails to World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) with amendments for our sport outlined by Appendix E - these are typically updated every 4 years and the RRS for 2021-24 took effect on 1 January 2021.
The full rules are available via the MYA or the World Sailing Rules websites, but a useful short presentation, explaining in an easily understood form how the 2021 changes will affect radio sailing, can be found here:

M&S District IOM Championship (Round 2) held on 8/3/20

Hampton Court MYC hosted Round 2 of the Met & Southern District IOM Championship on the 8th March. 17 entries (reduced to 14 on the day) allowed the event to be run on a single fleet basis. The wind blew straight down the Rick Pond from the South West, the gusts left the skippers debating whether it was too windy to use top rig. The wind did moderate prior to the first race which led to a couple of skippers coming out in top rig. Unfortunately for them the wind soon reverted to it’s original strength leaving them very overpowered.
In the subsequent races the whole fleet sported their working rigs which remained the case for most of the day
Racing continued throughout the day at a reasonable pace stopping only for lunch and a couple of coffee breaks. By 4pm , the race cut off time 14 races had been completed and it was time to tot up the scores and apply the 2 discards.
Darin Ballington (Manor Park) put in a solid performance managing to win 7 races and took the event with 26 points. 33 points secured a 2nd place for Martin Graham (Chipstead) followed by Trevor Binks (Eastbourne) on 37 points.

                THEN                      AND                      NOW
Model yachting has taken place on the Rick Pond since 1897. Hampton Court Model Yacht Club is one of the largest and most active clubs in the UK. The Club has its own clubhouse and car park situated near to the Rick Pond. We host events at Local, District and National Levels and sail mainly radio controlled yachts but there is also a keen group sailing vane and vintage boats. We sail 5 different classes - the International One Metre (IOM), the Marblehead (M), the 10 Rater (10R) the A Class (A) and the Dragon Flite 95 (DF95). The Club has an enthusiastic membership and promotes friendly and competitive racing which takes place up to 3 times per week throughout the year. You can find us at the Rick Pond from about 10am on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
