Set Up and Sail

The V11 detailing is simple but effective. In conjunction with the V11 Set Up Guide, assembly is straight forward, and vital tuning information assists you to quickly understand and master your V11's potential

IMG_6609.jpg

Vickers RC Sailing build processes are well refined and thought out.

Our boats are light, stiff and clever,  keeping to a simple and effective philosophy around detailing

The V11 design is a hull, foils and bulb package to compliment the full range of conditions experienced in RC Sailing. The hull design has full volume forward and features the familiar chines and tumblehome of the modern IOM for reduced weight and windage, as well as good tracking characteristics. The V11 features our peaked style foredeck for efficient water shedding when buried downwind and a geometrically strong shape for the forestay and mast ram areas.

Foils are slippery and strategically positioned with the rig to balance the yacht. The V11s forgiving balance through the wind range, allows the skipper to focus on the race at hand, and not rely on micro steering to maintain a consistent VMG.

The rig sits solid on its deck stepped mast step, complimented at deck level with an encapsulating mast gate arrangement over the mast ram. The rudder tube is rigidly supported inside the moulded servo tray. 

Hull construction is from E-Glass Fibreglass Cloth and High Grade Epoxy Resin.

The foils are Carbon Fibre Layup with High Grade Epoxy Resin.

Paint system is a 2 pot Urethane and the boat is thoroughly post cured before finishing.

The V11 Features-

Plastic main hatch access. 

Ready to accept RMG Winch and Standard sized Rudder Servo

Bow Bumper attached.

Hardware is Bantock including an adjustable mast ram, adjustable mainsheet post and tiller arm.

All necessary fittings attached for standing and running rigging.

The V11 comes out of our workshop in Beach Haven, Auckland New Zealand and is ready to accept rigs and electrics.

We also make sails that can be added to the order, or ordered separately.

So hit the enquiry button to discuss delivery times and options.

We are ready to help.

IMG_6638.jpg

Essential to success in sailing comes down to the  Rig and how it is set up and tuned. The V11 comes with a Set Up Guide that covers all the expert information needed to set up like the guns. It specifies the hardware, construction and tuning information to get your rig and sails set up and sailing near optimum straight off the bat, so you can enjoy your racing and punch above your weight.

Include Sets of sails from Vickers RC Sailing and enhance the experience.

Catsails are specialist manufacturers of sails and accessories for performance radio controlled model yachts.

Proprietor Nigel Brown has been sailmaking since 1980 and has worked in some of the top sail lofts across the World including building sails for 4 America’s Cup programmes.

Years of sailmaking experience at the highest level combined with the best materials, high standards of workmanship and attention to detail have resulted in truly top quality products that are well proven on racecourses around the world. All mainsails and jibs are shaped using carefully milled moulds which ensures accurate repetition and consistency of shapes from one sail to the next.

Nigel has been building sails for the International One Metre since 2005 with sail shapes and construction techniques being continually refined ever since. IOM sails are well proven on the race circuits having won races and regattas in Spain, Italy and Malta as well as in the UK.

In 2012 the range was extended to include sails for the popular Micro Magic class that instantly received great acclaim.

When the DragonForce 65 was launched in 2013 and the DragonFlite 95 in 2016 Catsails soon became one of the leading suppliers of after market sails for these popular boats and they are now shipped all around the world and have powered boats to national titles in a number of different countries.

Catsails additionally make high performance sails for the RG65 class to fit both swing and conventional rigs.

Catsails also make custom accessories that are designed to protect boats, rigs and foils whilst the boats are out of the water.

iom yacht foils

Page 1 of 11 1
. In that thread I show several techniques for casting lead bulbs from simple plaster molds to complex CNC aluminum machining.

In this thread I will be doing some similar things, but will not be rehashing some of the intricacies that I have already delved into there, such as the aspects of CAD design and CAM processing. Similarly, I won’t be describing EVERY technique available, just the ones I use for my own projects.

Hopefully, this will make things a bit easier on me as far as documentation so I am hoping to be able to get things done in 6999 steps instead of 7000 this go around!

I also have another build thread going that details the building of the Alioth, a 3d printed IOM. . I will be showing how I make the foils for that boat in this thread.

The plan is that these threads will all start to merge together into a finished project as I progress. The bulb and foils threads showing construction techniques for those parts and the boat thread showing the installation. I am keeping these aspects separated because, as in the casting thread, I work on several casting projects. Likewise, I will be doing more than just the Alioth IOM foils in this build thread.

Just as in the other threads, I am starting out with a blank slate. I am no expert in making these things and in fact have never made an RC boat rudder or keel fin before. I think this is very important to point out because I want YOU to be able to say to yourself, “If this idiot can do it, maybe I can too!”

That being said, I have some past experience that I am bringing to the table. I have a 25 year background as a professional woodworker and bench jeweler. Nearly three decades in computer art and design work. I have a shop filled with WAY more than the average amount of tools. If there is something in my head that I want made, it is generally gonna get done.

One of my key past experiences that will apply in this thread is that I have a history of building with composite construction. I used to be as much into high performance sailplanes as I am currently into sailboats of the same caliber. If you were flying a Taboo GT or XP-5 discus launch glider a decade or so ago, I probably made your fuselage. I was also making DLG carbon tailbooms and made the first fuselages and booms for the Mark Drela XCBD (Cross-country Bubble Dancer). I even built my own CNC 4-axis foam cutter from scratch to make cores for composite sailplane wings and rudders.

So, yes I am new to sailboat foils, but will be bringing a lot to the table. I hope to have some fun and do a lot of learning. I also hope for participation and advice from others that have already been down this road. I cannot stress how important it was in my bulb casting thread to stand on the shoulders of others. I will be doing a lot of the same here. I am not an engineer, I just write the manuals.
.


.


Graham Herbert thinks nature may have figured out a good shape for his IOM foils already.
.


So, there are some definite starting points mentioned above. I have found that there are many roads to take and each builder has their own little twist to add. I am not sure there is a perfect solution, but half the fun is in trying to find one anyway.

Someone is screaming at their screen right now. “OMG how can you put forth info on designing a rudder for a boat without doing the dozen calculations required for proper this that and the other effect of blah blah blah., etc.”

Look man, I am not here to present a dissertation. I am here to show you how I built a pretty decent IOM rudder that is probably gonna work out fine. See the previous post for my thoughts how things are going to be OK even if you don’t do the math. This is just a prototype whose sole purpose is to verify that I can make a thing that looks about like an IOM rudder to start with.

Think about this thread as a vocational tech. class mixed with arts and crafts, not a science class. It is the way I know how to work. Yeah, I took Honors Physics in High School, but even in an Honors class somebody had to get the lowest grade in class and barely pass. Not ashamed to say that in 1991 that person was me!

This keel fin is by Gabriel Le Duc. He is doing some nice work in Southern France and I have been following his progress on FB.

Here are experiments from weeks ago showing early 3d print tests leading up to this. Is that a vacuum chuck plate and CNC carved foam cores on the left? Sure is, but that will come later. Right now, we are in printer land!
.
I just want anyone that hasn’t been there before to go check it all out. The doc you want is in “Other” and called Center of Effort Location - fin or rudder. I will also have the PDF for direct download at the bottom of this post.

I won’t re-type the instructions, as they are fairly clear on the process. Here is a detail you should pay attention to. Notice the line chosen as the bottom width of the rudder is not at the bottom of the rudder. The rudder tip has a radius to it and Sailsetc. has picked a location about midway through that curve. If you also notice that if you cut the tip off that line, you could about fit that tip piece in the gap near the leading edge that line.

This eye-balled line is a bit of a guess. Likewise the location of of the rudder stock axis is said to be placed “no less than 3mm ahead of the center of effort point”. OK, but is there not a “no than Xmm ahead” limit. So, I chose a spot that was 4.5mm ahead of the CE because that as also the location of the thickest point of the rudder airfoil to give maximum room for the rudder stock.

When typing up this post I did not want to get complex, but wanted to do more than just throw out the term Center of Effort and devote a post to finding it with no other info at all on why it matters. Luckily, I found some info presented at at a simple level without using any math titled The Physics of Sailing. Take a look here.

Mr. Pierce says that CE and CLR represent the centroid of the average forces that are contributed by the foil. So Sailsetc. has provided a way to find that by estimating the location of the centroid (Center of Effort) of the area of the rudder or fin from a 2D view. I used their instructions to find that location with my CAD software. But I also have the ability to push a button and have the software find that exact centroid point using the 3D shape and did so after doing it “manually” and compared locations.

Well dangit, they aren’t in the same place. Rhino3D says the 3D volume centroid is about 10.9mm behind and 7mm above the Sailsetc. 2D area centroid position. Hmmm.

I proceed to the next step in the instructions which tell you to draw a line from that point to the leading edge and bisect it. I do so and have a minor jaw drop when I see where the midpoint of this line is. If you recall the CE point calculated by the Sailsetc. 2D method places the rudder axis “no less than 3mm” forward from the CE. My computer has taken the complete 3D data of the rudder and found that axis line at this EXACT 3mm offset location.

It is kinda cool that you can bypass some advanced math by essentially just saying “move this point ahead about 3mm in the 2D view to make up for the contributions of the 3D volume and you will probably be alright”.

Finally, a picture! Here is a mold half, fresh off the printer.
.


This looks like an unfinished sanding job, but this is the point you can stop at.
.
You can also order from Smooth-on, which is where the Amazon stuff ships from anyway, so check to see if you can save buying direct.

Make sure your molds are free of any dust, grit, and crud. I mixed up a 15cc batch of epoxy for each mold and did them one at a time so I could keep the epoxy flowing and runny. I only coated the tops of the molds. No reason to do the sides and back.

I used a 1/2” shop brush to apply it all over the top. It helps to focus on getting it a bit “rubbed in” to the plastic. The epoxy may try to pull away from the plastic in a few spots, but working it in just a bit will get it to behave. Make sure there are no puddles, thin spots, or brush hairs (or your hairs) on the surface. Then take several passes down the long axis with your brush, smoothing and evening the coat out while working in full length strokes from tip to the open end of the mold so that excess epoxy is removed as I go.

What works nicely at this point is to apply some gentle hot air while holding the mold vertically. This will help surface air bubbles to expand, pop, and self level. It will decrease the viscosity and helps excess epoxy slide down and off the mold. It can also help you smooth out runs and sagging.

I have a small heat gun that works great for stuff like this and is fantastic for heat shrink as well. I use it for all kinds of stuff.

CAUTION: Do not overdo the heating. You can burn the epoxy or soften the mold. You can cause curing to begin immediately. You can cause tiny bubbles become huge, hardened lumps. What you can get away with will depend on your heat source. Test out your technique on a sample print before you coat the molds. I have quickly flashed a propane torch over epoxy for a second or two just to pop bubbles. I have also spent a minute of time working on flattening a run with a low temp heat/air source. Experiment until you have some experience.

Now stand your mold vertically and leaned back a bit so no epoxy accumulates at the open base. It is fine for it to run off the end and drip freely. You can pop the runs off the mold base with a chisel later.

Don’t be too disturbed with how it looks. My pictures below will show you several mistakes, such as a trapped hair in the black mold. Also, hardened bubbles because it was hot as Hades in my shop that day and the epoxy was bit too stiff by the time I remembered I needed the hot air gun. I even had epoxy build up the open end because I forgot to tip the molds back once I had my area cleaned up for the day. The first coat of this stuff almost always looks like poo, even on my best days. It will come out fine in the end.

Looks ugly? Yep. No worries. It will get taken care of.


First coat is on. Not pretty, but it is even.
.


This is the black mold from the previous post after being having the first coat sanded, but before the 2nd epoxy coat. I told you it was going to come together! Don’t sweat those scratches. Coat #2 will manage them.

The  Ellipsis… IOM represents a different approach to what is now “conventional chine” boats,

The truth is chines do not do what designers say they do. They do not “grip” the water or generate lift, or  stop the boat going sideways in any way.

The main application of a chine on modern IOM’s is to easily allow a boat to have tumble home aft by separating the topside shape from the bottom shape. This aft tumblehome In combination with much fuller bow sections, reduces the “in out wedges” of a hull which stops the hull from trimming bow down when heeled. This hull “balance” , allows the hull when heeled to sail in a straight line rather than curve to windward and allows the foils to stay at an optimum angle of a attack without further skewing the hull. This makes the boat easier to sail and reduces drag. 

Other effects of the chine are the ability of a designer to make the stern sections flatter than they otherwise would be and gives the hull a volume bump just above the waterline increasing initial form stability and at the bow increasing acceleration. The chine may also allow a cleaner separation of the water flow aft at speed, but this is debatable.

The Ellipsis… approach is to remove the chine completely but to retain the volume distribution and excellent hull balance of a chine boat. This produces a much simpler and easier to produce hull in both glass and wood. The Ellipsis… is very well balanced upwind and can be trimmed to give a negative feel right though the useful range of heel angles. When running the Ellipsis’s full bow gives the boat excellent nosediving prevention ability and exceptional acceleration in gusts.

The Ellipsis… being narrower on the waterline and has less immersed hull surface than many chine boats. The deck is slightly wider allowing a wider stay base and better rig control.  The flat deck with a raised “bubble” section allows the jib foot to be very low in the boat.

The Ellipsis… is also unlike many chine boats, and very pretty boat .

We are sure its best to have a lightweight rudder as we believe its best to have less weight at the ends of the boat so the rudder is built of foam and glass. We finish all our foils with epoxy resin and graphite. This surface is sanded with 1500 wet dry sandpaper and is very easy to maintain and keep clean

IOM Reports 13 Dead, 14 Missing in Latest Yemen Shipwreck Disaster

Ta’iz, 25 August – Thirteen people have tragically lost their lives and 14 others remain missing after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Yemen’s Ta’iz governorate on Tuesday (20/08). The vessel, which departed from Djibouti carrying 25 Ethiopian migrants along with two Yemeni nationals, sank near the Dubab district in Bani Al-Hakam sub-district, according to field reports from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). 

Among the deceased are 11 men and two women. The bodies of the deceased were recovered along the shores of Bab-al Mandab near Al-Shura in the Dubab district. Search operations are ongoing in hopes of locating the remaining missing migrants and the Yemeni captain and his assistant. Despite exhaustive efforts, the cause of the shipwreck remains unclear at this stage. 

“This latest tragedy is a stark reminder of the perils faced by migrants on this route,” said Matt Huber, Acting Chief of Mission for IOM in Yemen. “Every life lost in these dangerous waters is one too many, and it is imperative that we do not normalize these devastating losses and instead work collectively to ensure that migrants are protected and supported throughout their journeys. Our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to prevent such incidents and protect vulnerable migrants.” 

Despite repeated warnings and ongoing interventions, the waters off Yemen continue to claim lives at an alarming rate. The capsizing in Dubab, following similar tragic shipwrecks in both June and July, is yet another devastating reminder of the extreme dangers of this migration route and the reliance on smuggling networks. Vulnerable migrants are often pushed into perilous conditions by smugglers as they attempt to flee desperate circumstances in search of safety and opportunity in the Gulf states. 

The migration route from the Horn of Africa to Yemen remains one of the most perilous in the world, with thousands of migrants crossing each year despite the ongoing conflict and deteriorating conditions in Yemen. IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) recorded over 97,200 migrant arrivals in Yemen in 2023, surpassing the previous year’s numbers. However, with the conflict deepening, migrants remain stranded, with little access to basic services and constant exposure to violence and exploitation. 

This recent tragedy underscores the urgent need for more robust measures to protect migrants and prevent future loss of life. IOM urges all actors to step up support and prevent further tragedies along migration routes, and address the root causes driving irregular migration, including conflict, poverty, and climate-related challenges. 

Adequate funding and resources are urgently needed to address the growing needs of stranded migrants. Strengthened international collaboration and increased financial backing are essential to effectively tackle these challenges and ensure that migrants receive the necessary protection and assistance during their perilous migration journeys. 

Since 2014, IOM’s Missing Migrants Project has recorded 2,082 migrant deaths and disappearances on the Eastern Route, including 693 due to drowning. Despite these harrowing numbers, the international response remains severely underfunded. 

Note to Editors: 

IOM’s Missing Migrants Project is the only open-access database on migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide and the sole indicator (10.7.3) to measure safe migration in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Together with 48 other humanitarian and development organizations and governments, IOM coordinates the  Regional Migrant Response Plan for the Horn of Africa, Yemen and Southern Africa (MRP) to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of migrants along the Eastern Route. Although  MRP partners appealed for USD 112 million , the appeal remains severely underfunded.

    The four digit is more drag when at low angles of attack, like downwind, but less drag than the others when at high, >10* angles of attack. Always a tradeoff!

    The thicker foil does have a down side at low angles of attack, and that is that it has generally a higher drag. And *that* is where the real diference comes in. The ability of a boat to point is a function of its "drag angle", which is the ratio of the lift it produces to the drag it creates.
