Achieve Your Potential in Competition IOM Sailing

Vickers RC Sailing

Producer of the V11 Competition International One Metre Design by Ian Vickers.

Our workshop opened in 2014 with the V8 IOM. Since then we have produced hundreds of hand crafted IOM yachts in the Vickers design range. Yachts that have helped IOM competitors around the world achieve their potential and exceed expectations in competition.

We are currently offering the V11, the innovative design that finished 3rd at the 2019 World Championships in Port Alegre, Brazil.

When our clients return, they know they are tapping in to smart, competitive technology in IOM design and build. Stiff, Lightweight boats, that are Easily Assembled, Fast and Forgiving to sail. Join the fun!

Improve your results at the club and the regatta, with the fast and forgiving V11 from Vickers RC Sailing

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

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.

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.

Vickers Rc Sailing is back taking orders again for the V11

We look forward to hearing from you

A welcome from the IOM ICA Executive Committee

It is my honour as one of the youngest IOMICA Executive members to address you on behalf of our newly elected Executive Committee. Like you, my passion and commitment for this brilliant global class have only strengthened with my growing participation. It is fitting having this address come from one of our youngest members, as more than 50% of our electorate is new to the Executive Board. So, to initiate this address, I would simply like to start by pausing to thank each and every one of you. Thank you for your support and participation in a radio sailing class that has origins dating back to 1958. What an accomplishment! This lengthy tradition  has produced some amazing sailboat designs and memorable events year after year. The shared passion for IOM has generated a  global camaraderie  that unites us all. Recognizing this, we would like to acknowledge some remarkable individuals for their stalwart commitment and personal sacrifice in promoting our IOM Class and the infrastructure behind it.

We must congratulate Mr. Fred Rocha for his eight years of service as the IOM ICA Chairman and acknowledge everything he accomplished. His perpetual enthusiasm   and  inclusivity  are traits that have greatly benefitted our class. He aspired to improve both our internal and external communication, promote the development of our class in new territories, and openly embrace new concepts and ideas. Fred was very generous with his time and support of all our organizational requirements, and worked tirelessly in this pursuit. Congratulations also need to be extended to our newly elected IOM ICA Chairman, Mr. Olivier Cohen. Additional changes in the Executive resulted in the position VC – Technical is going from Mr. Jeff Byerley to Mr. Robert Grubiša, VC – InfoComms passes from Mr. Pedro Egea to Josip Marasović, and the position of Treasurer formally transferring from Mr. David Turton to Mr. Sean Wallis. Pedro Egea deserves special recognition, as he’s tirelessly served our group with IT and “common sense” support for now eleven years — you are a genuine rockstar!! VC Measurement position is vacant, but we wanted also to congratulate Mr. Lawrie Neish, a true veteran who was helping us for around 11 years!! Gentlemen, you all deserve our heartfelt thanks for your service, and be assured we will raise a glass on your behalf.

As COVID continues to be a present challenge for all of us, I’d like to conclude this greeting with a note of  enthusiasm .  Always remember why the IOM Class is held in such high esteem in so many different countries,  surviving the test of time!  No matter how technologically advanced and exceptional IOM sailboats become in future, we will always rely on an overwhelming and continued desire to explore all facets and possibilities to improve performance and everyone’s experience in the end.  We need to continue to push our limits in all sectors of this class, and convey that information in an  open  and  democratic  fashion. This voice needs to be expressed beyond just our annual vote, but vocalized at every race, regatta, start, and buoy rounding, and literally every metre moving forward. Whether you are sailing at a top international regatta or having a twilight club race with friends, you are all part of this active global  IOM family . We are all facing challenges and uncertainty in our daily lives, but we do not have to question our passion and commitment to IOM. Through your individual activities and support, each of you is responsible for helping make this class what it is now and will ultimately become. Our growth and transformation evolve only when you  participate ,  experiment , and continue to  explore , so your engagement is crucial to our success in the future. We look forward to seeing you at future regattas, active in our forums and chats, social media and in photos. The year 2021 is at the very end, but we are just getting started, so let us all continue our story  together .

– Josip Marasović, new VC InfoComms

Click the picture to get to the boat's page The IOM Class The International One Metre class was created by Jan Dejmo, with the support of Graham Bantock and the Permanent Committee of the ISAF-Radio Sailing Division, and adopted by ISAF-RSD in 1988. The intent was to pull together a variety of "One metre" class rules from different countries, and provide for a common, restricted, inexpensive international class of stable, easily-built designs. The result is the most popular RC racing yacht class in the world. The class has enjoyed such success because competitive IOMs can be built by an ordinary modeller at home, and due to the class restrictions competitive boats remain competitive for a number of years. IOM rules The performance of a RC yacht depends on hull lenght, beam, displacement, sail area, bulb draft, ballast ratio and rig plan. The only parameter than can be freely changed is the beam, all others are restricted by the IOM class rules. Therefore it is primarily differing beams and positions of maximum beam, which distinguish the different IOM designs. In addition to performance factors, the class rules explicitly restrict certain materials and construction methods in order to keep the class inexpensive and able to be built by an amateur builder. Radio control is restricted to two channels. Appendages and sails can be made of any material. A competitive boat can be built at home.

  “The first boat in my life that didn’t require a mooring, dinghy park space, launching trolley, foul weather gear or harbour dues and gives me two days sailing a week. Fantastic!”

Enthusiasm for the sport is addictive, many clubs have ‘guest’ days, some have loan boats, and all will welcome you to their community.

The IOM is a great boat to sail and its rules and measurement are relatively simply allowing the amateur and professional alike to exploit hull shape/fin/mast/ deck configuration - Steve Taylor

History of IOM RC Yachts

Created in 1988 by Jan Dejmo, the IOM class rules were written to enable boats to be built from scratch or kit by non-expert builders and inexpensively by a commercial builder without disadvantage to either group.

or glass re-inforced composite with carbon fibre being allowed in the construction of the fin and rudder. 

Spars shall be of alloy or timber and the sails are to 'One Design' sizes, with the number of rigs is limited to three.

Hulls must be constructed of either wood as this beautiful example

This makes  the class very popular for amateur builders and many designers have plans for competitive boats. There are a number of Builders here in UK and overseas,  who can supply plans for home completion, hulls and rigs or complete boats.

A limit of three different rig sizes allows sailing in most conditions from a lazy summer day to winds gusting over in excess of 30kts!

These boats, which handle beautifully, are fast, responsive and quite addictive. Once you have experienced  sailing one, there is no going back.

Wooden ships comments on this International One Design (IOD)

Designed and built by Bjarne Aas in Norway, 1958. Hull No. 440

The International One-Design Class was conceived to build, maintain and race a fleet of “One-Design yachts, distinctive in appearance and performance, using one-design racing in order to develop the competitive capacities of both helmsmen and crews under the fairest and most equal conditions.”

The design of the International One-Design was inspired by a Six Metre created by the famous Norwegian architect and builder Bjarne Aas, in 1935. Cornelius Shields, Sr., impressed by her beauty and handling qualities when he saw one sailing in Bermuda, initiated action for an entire Class similar in design and appearance to the 6m but with a loftier rig, a short shelter and a storage cabin. Aas submitted plans and specifications in 1936 and a syndicate was formed.  In late 1936, twenty-five International One-Design yachts were delivered from Norway and commenced racing on Long Island Sound. Since that time, other fleets have formed in Norway, the UK, Bermuda, Canada and the United States.

With 12 fleets in 5 countries and over 150 yachts actively racing, the International One Design was the first class to be recognized by ISAF as a “Classic” One Design Class.

Prior to the Second World War The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in Burnham on Crouch was the premier location for one design racing in England. In particular during the thirties it was the centre of 6 metre racing, attracting helmsmen from all parts of the world. As 6 metre racing became more intense at national and international level, so the costs escalated.

‘Tiny Mitchell’, then Commodore of the Corinthian, a post he held with distinction from 1931 to 1952, was well aware of the limitations that participating imposed and he did much to encourage the less costly racing classes such as the Dragon. Through his close association with the 6 metre class he was well informed on the origins of the IOD and recognised its undoubted potential. In 1938 he purchased Bombero and this was sailed by his son E.B.N. (Budd) Mitchell, later to own Tadpole. In order to encourage the class Bombero was sold to John Mould in 1939 and the Mitchell family took delivery of Nauta. Margaret, built in 1938, was brought to Burnham in 1939 and joined the fourth member of the class Flirt, owned by C Peto Bennet. These four boats formed the nucleus of the Burnham fleet and raced regularly as a class in 1939.

The Second World War and its aftermath were nearly fatal for the IOD class. During the war, legend says that Aas buried the construction jigs to protect them during the Nazi occupation. Everywhere the yachts were laid up and the materials used in the ‘golden era’ of wood, iron and mild steel were savaged by neglect.

Post War, the ‘Yachting Monthly’ (March 1949) carried an article on the International One Design and suggested that C Peto Bennet was planning to build IODS in the UK, by arrangement with Bjarne Aas. In fact this did not happen. The article goes on to praise the sea worthiness of the boat in the hardest of weathers as proved at the Hanko Regatta of 1947.

This and the opening of The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club at Cowes encouraged the Burnham boats to move south leading to a full IOD class racing on the Solent. The class now started to generate more interest and throughout the ‘50’s new boats were added to the fleet on a regular basis.

By 1973 most of the fleet had moved to the Royal Forth Yacht Club (RFYC) totalling 13 boats, 11 purchased from the Solent and 2, Arrow and Wahoo, from the Channel Islands. There followed a period of active and very competitive  racing, with the fleet taking part in the IOD Worlds for the first time in 1974 at Larchmont, USA and hosting the Worlds on the Forth in 1975, 1979, 1984, 1990 and 1998.

From 1984, boats started to move west to the Clyde where there was a nucleus of three boats, Mirenda, Wildgoose and Starlight . The Worlds were held for the first time at the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club in 1990 with the reduced Forth fleet transported to the Clyde and 1995 saw the complete transition of the IOD fleet to the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club (RNCYC) at Rhu.

International One Designs have added colour and competitiveness to yacht racing wherever they have been based in the UK. In recent years the Clyde fleet dispersed and a small fleet collected in St Mawes, Cornwall though now also slowly dispersing.

While these boats have been raced competitively for many years, they are also wonderful day sailers even in unsheltered waters and it is this feature of the design which makes them nowadays so attractive to many owners who prefer exciting pottering to competitive hard racing.

Planked in mahogany on laminated mahogany frames at approx 3’ centres with 2 x steamed oak intermediates. The planking is laid tight-seamed and screw fastened to both the heavier laminated frames and the steam bent timbers.

The planking is varnished on the inside and painted externally.

Straight-cut mahogany web floors on every second frame running forward of the mast up the stem ensure the strength of the long overhang in pounding conditions. Several similar floors up into the counter secure that area. Midships, several heavy section cross cut oak floors also carry the ballast keel bolts and give huge strength to the tight deep bilge and support to the ballast keel.

Most boats still have a pair of eye bolts in the midships bilge to take lifting straps which allowed them to be craned.

K18 was recently fitted with a new teak deck on a marine ply sub deck, beautifully laid to the varnished mahogany cover-boards in narrow and tapering scrubbed teak planks joggled in to a varnished mahogany cover-board.

In proper IOD design she has a teak grab rail either side of the fore deck almost back as far as the mast providing a toe-hold for the fore deck crew.

A very attractive feature of the IOD is the small cabin roof built with varnished mahogany coamings and a scrubbed teak deck also joggled to a varnished mahogany cover-board.

Two fixed lights each side in chromed bezels and one recessed fixed light in the fwd face of the coaming.

The cock-pit is deep with adequate space for the full race crew of 4. The fifth member is usually allocated his seat at the foot of the mast, port or stbd depending on which tack was being sailed.

Because K18 has been fitted with an engine she now has a full width bridge deck with a centre opening flap to sight the engine.

A sliding hatch and wash-boards close the cabin entrance.

Slatted side seats run aft from the bridge deck leaving the under side deck space open each side.

Slatted scrubbed hardwood cock-pit sole in sections which can be lifted to access the deep bilge well below allowing constant sight of any water in the bilge when racing.

Deep varnished mahogany coamings round the cock-pit give excellent protection and the crew sit in this boat, not on it and even in a strong breeze hiking out is generally not required or desireable.

The cock-pit is open right up into the counter giving total ventilation to this potentially vulnerable area.

The raked rudder stock emerges from it’s stock-tube part way up the counter below deck with a varnished ash tiller which can sweep the cock-pit side to side out under the side decks.

The fore deck carries a single centre-line chromed cleat to take the forward mooring line running over a single stemhead chromed roller fitting. A single chromed cleat on the aft deck takes the after line with a single chromed fairlead alongside the chromed ensign staff  socket.

This is an exquisite and totally uncluttered, clear deck emphasising this yacht’s perfect clean lines.

Fractional bermudian sloop rig on a 2002 aluminium mast stepped through the main deck forward of the coach-roof onto the keel.

Pair of stainless steel tie rods each side from mast step to chain plates at the beam-shelf.

Single spreaders with jumpers above.

2002 stainless steel rigging with single lowers and cap shrouds each side to a stainless steel bar carried on a pair of stainless steel chain plates reaching internally down the topsides thus very adequately spreading the rig loads.

Single back-stay to the aft deck through to a turning pulley and set up to a 4-part tackle under the aft deck.

Fore stay incorporated into the head-sail roller reefing gear set back from the stemhead with under-deck roller drum. Rolling lanyard taken aft through the cabin bulkhead to the cock-pit so the headsail can be reefed or furled from the cock-pit.

Halyards, spinnaker lifts etc in mast with a winch at the foot of the mast in the cabin and a pair of jamming cleats.

Alloy boom sheeted to the aft deck on tufnol blocks with single tail lead into the cock-pit through the after coaming, stbd corner to a cleat on the inside of the stbd coaming.

Alloy slab reef boom with two internal reef pennants. Ram’s horns at the goose neck.

Headsail sheets through short athwartships tracks carrying lead blocks allows the clew to be moved in and out.

Boom topping lift.

Kicking strap on tackle.

A versatile rig which can be totally controlled and tuned from the cock-pit.

Pair of Anderson self tailing sheet winches on the cock-pit coamings

Lewmar 8 top action winch at the mast step.

2 x mainsails

Jib on under-deck roller furling gear.

Alloy spinnaker pole.

Mainsail cover

Yanmar 10hp single cylinder diesel engine on the centre-line with centre-line shaft to off-set folding prop.

Single lever engine controls stnd side of the cock-pit.

12v battery in the bridge deck locker to port of the engine.
