INTERNATIONAL ONE METRE CLASSCanadian Olympic Regatta Kingston, IOM Regatta 2001 - Photo by Terry Doble The newest yet fastest growing international class is administered by the
ISAF-RSD. IOM Class rules are very tight limiting yachts to two channel
controls and three - one design rigs. The hull, ballast, draught and
construction materials are also limited yet there is still sufficient freedom to
allow different hull and fin/rudder shapes to be developed.
