At the time the bearings were not strong enough and carbon tubes were unavailable. My guess is the skegs were due to the largish bustles that were thought to be favourable under the RORC rule (RORC hull measurements and length calcs were a precursor to IOR) which carried on into the early days of IOR. It wasn't until guys like Bruce Kirby and Doug Peterson started integrating a spade rudder with a smaller skeg and Ron Holland started putting a spade rudder under the bustle that the skegs started disappearing from IOR boats. Before that, even Carter's designs like Ydra had skegs. Bu if you look at the launch photo of the C&C Red Jacket below which predates all of the above you will see no hint of a bustle and a quite spindly scimitar rudder and stock. Or even look at a Cal 40. In simplest terms: generally speaking, no bustle - no skeg. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In simplest terms: generally speaking, no bustle - no skeg. “Red Jacket (1964)[edit] Canadian yachtsman Perry Connolly asked George Cuthbertson of Cuthbertson & Cassian to design a custom 40 ft (12 m) racing sloop for him. The design directive called for flat-out speed. Connolly said he wanted "the meanest, hungriest 40-footer afloat".[8][10][11] As a result of a connection through his earlier relationship with Metro Marine, Bruckmann was asked to build this new boat, named Red Jacket, from the design by Cuthbertson.[6] Starting in 1963 and through 1964 Red Jacket, was built by Erich Bruckmann at Bruckmann Manufacturing in fiberglass with a balsa core, the resulting structure was strong, stiff and significantly lighter than the wood or solid fiberglass yachts then sailing. Red Jacket is considered to be the first sailboat engineered with a cored hull (other earlier boats had balsa-cored decks and powerboat builders were then using it in transoms and superstructures).[8] No doubt the weight savings and panel stiffness of her cored hull contributed significantly to her racing success. She was launched in May 1966 and took 11 of 13 starts that summer. That winter, Red Jacket headed south and won the famed SORC (Southern Ocean Racing Conference), also called "the circuit," which was a series of six races with the major two being from St. Petersburg to Fort Lauderdale and from Miami to Nassau, competing against over 85 of the best racers of the day. Red Jacket was the first Canadian boat to win the SORC. She is still actively raced by her owners, members the Royal Canadian Yacht Club.[10]” Where did that photo come from? In the early 70s sailed with Steve one of the crew in suits on Red Jacket above, it’s Canada, Ah. To design the deck they the crew spent the winter on a tilted deck mock-up sheeting and manovering in a heated shed to get the layout optimized… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordBooster 251 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Fingal RORC half-tonner, designed by Knud H Reimers. Prototype Fin Gal was 13:th at HTC -68 (28 yachts). This design inspired Peter Norlin to create Scampi https://www.blocket.se/annons/halland/fingal_segelbat/96735903?fbclid=IwAR0VezxqOyjSnp77pLUE_tsMA5MvX5JWx2gz7H3u5w7xuyVm4uMQavIrBCU https://www.sailguide.com/batfakta/fingal?fbclid=IwAR0e6fiDgCxbnpd01ZL5JA1gtm9ShpHL15PAx829PUIy0NwCWQQXT4bvbMM Yes, this is a RORC half-tonner and this is the yacht that inspired Peter Norlin to create Scampi: "To market the boat, Reimers hired some young talented racers, including Peter Norlin, and let them sail the boat in Gotland Runt. The boat won RORC class IV in 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969. Wins six years in a row, no other boat has managed such a suite and Knud Reimers Fingal thus became historic. Fingal's suite was first broken when former crew Peter Norlin designed and built his own boat, Scampi, and with it won both Gotland Runt and the WC for half a tonne.", see: http://bangefamily.name/?fbclid=IwAR1ipud_Q5psS_GvQs0WMNdr1rvfnMlhpnN-elmoVbOcs52kyjUkBzrI3n8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although more correct to say reduces interference drag. Lots of designer use the same principal today - reducing foil chord and thickness at the root. Just executed differently. Basically you want to minimize the foil sectional area where it meets the hull. The C&C scimitar rudder kind of takes that to the extreme with the only area being the rudder stock itself. Of course a round stock section in itself has a lot of form drag - and like you mention eliminates any end-plate effect. One of those things which theoretically created an advantage which was offset by the disadvantages conferred by such a design. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically, it was the aeronautics field where the Area Rule came about resulting in the wasp waisting of supersonic jet aircraft - which also doesn't really look right. A similar concept trickled down to yacht design and interference drag. It's all about flattening and smoothing out the area curve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZWBVgL8I54 https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aerodynamics/area-rule/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of IOR landfills - we have had the old Foxhound (ex-Silver Shadow III) sitting in our yard in much worse condition than WSD for at least 7 years now - paying close to $8k/yr in storage fees with absolutely no work done on her. I mean who throws away $60k for nothing? Mind you, I think the current owners are a few months in arrears and we may be close to seizing her.

In the case of Mootley, the designer was Maurillo Vinhas de Queiroz, who sought to optimize the performance of the sailboat Zim, a medal-winner in the early 1980s. Later, the Mootley family project served as the basis for Sirius 27 , a more cruise-oriented boat produced by the Golden Nautica shipyard. The Maurillo project gave rise to three boats: the Longueiul (which was used by Lars Grael) currently Ichtus - Santos SP, the Zim II (currently Pianinha, ex Taxi Driver) in Brasilia - DF, and the Mootley. The Mootley was the last to be built and was ordered with a solid fiberglass hull without the use of klegecell. The boat was built under the fast cruising philosophy, combining an interior with cruising amenities with a regatta rig.", https://veleiromootley.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-10-17T22%3A47%3A00-02%3A00&max-results=7&fbclid=IwAR285odDxS6OnWB3XB9JH0JsVJkziZCi66-DDNP8WVo0LNaJco5oqJSmJ7Y Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LordBooster 251 Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Mescanno from -88 cruising-regatta, Rating IOR 23, designed by Federico Alberigi, renovation project https://www.likesx.com/barca-a-vela-10-m-da-restaurare/ "Federico Alberigi was born in Rome in 1939 where he attended the art school and the faculty of architecture; in 1963 he became a lecturer in technical design, until 1986. Since 2003 he has been conducting the Masters for wind mechanical engineers sent by the Milan Polytechnic and internships in yacht designer for architects from the La Sapienza University of Rome. In the 1960s he attended, first as a student and then as an instructor, the best European sailing schools. In the 1970s he specialized in shipbuilding and design. In 1978 he founded, in Fiumicino, the Mescal Nautica of which he is still the designer, the technical director and the sole owner.", see: http://www.mescalnautica.com/oldsite/presentazione.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Question then is why people regroup in a such a dry-sailed class, must be some reason ..... and lack of something in the current offerings. Pretty simple - IOR boats are fun and active - it's like driving an early 911 or Shelby Mustang - not nearly as good as new stuff but it has a charm and a soul the new stuff just ain't got. Those heavily modded top level QT's are like a restomod muscle car. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

guerdon 271 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 My fascination with the early IOR mini and 1/4 ton boats deals comes from their individuality. Each one seems to strive to solve the slow boat/ fast with a cabin design brief. They are curvy and pointy. That era gave us a playful parade that just developed a fun positive attitude. The problem with "modern" designs is that they are cold. Warm curves or cold performance, for me it was never a choice. It's a big ocean we might as well caress it.

But most important fun sailing and perhaps individuality instead of one-design. Yep ! I guess they looked for a class which would fit with their life rythm and provide fun when they were free to sail. QTs then somehow crossed the most boxes when duly -and intelligently- modified , by the class. (Going backwards in their lives was probably nice too) That behind the class was a hard pushing individual certainly helped. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guerdon 271 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The curvy pointy ended little IOR ones do fine if you stay off the ends and respect "hull speed". The newer boats use bowsprits and everyone clings to the sides and the stern to overcome fast boat/slow. It just is a matter how you define fun. Like old cars require certain handling techniques, new cars need new tires all the time to stay sticky, old cars just slide around on narrow wheels with smiling drivers.

Anyone having any news about her? http://www.histoiredeshalfs.com/BR5.htm?fbclid=IwAR0qGnpcXDm0z27KNgHT2KAXeUkJPGMCHqmgDvawE-IopyjdjrBZfydeZVE Apparently Local Hero 2 was crushed by the big Swan back in 1997 so almost 25 years ago. Photo below is shortly after the incident I presume. She is the red (maroon?) hull and you can see a part of her name near the bow. Her topside got can opened pretty good and keel root was bent. Looks like someone has kinda sorta patched the deck a bit. But if that is the result of 25 years of work, then there isn't much hope for her IMO. Can't imagine what she must be like below being exposed to the elements like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Early IOR boats actually had pretty hulls. Too bad their rigs were those horrible monster-masthead types with tiny maisails that resembled an 80's necktie, and enormous genoas Christo may have used to wrap a fucking island! Later IOR boats had proper rigs - bigger mainsails, 105% jibs, bendy mast 7/8 with running backstays... but now the hulls were awful! If I could find an IOR boat with an "early" hull and a "late" rig, I would take it. (Well, actualy I wouldn't because I am pretty satisfied with my slim Dane. The Scandinavians were doing their own thing troughout the whole IOR and IMS era, and looking back from today's perspective they had been right all the time.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guerdon 271 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 My Ranger22, has a beautiful bendy 7/8 rig with vortex generating ribs[Ala Lindholm] located in just the right places. The mainsail is not a ribbon, but it is high aspect and twists off to unload like a windsurfer. She has several jibs which is part of the fun of these classics. Many of the new boats don't feel like miniature ocean races for a couple, They are great, but somehow, lack the energy of the oldies. Much like a hot rod with climate control and a big stereo.

Closest thing I can think of is a Lindenberg 22 as far as the bow is concerned. Stern looks way too narrow for a '79 Other than the bow, the rest kind of reminds me of the old Elvstrom/Kjaerulff Half Ton of the early 70's - minus the hiking wings that were on Bes.
