RG65 Provisional Class Rules
After reasonable development the Technical Committee has now published the Provisional Class Rules for the RG65 class. Time to add to the class under the classes menu. Question and Answers and Technical Documents are the starting points more will come.
IRSA 65 Class
The class appeals to home builders and the boats are very easily transported. Essentially a box rule with minimal constraints. A 65 Class will usually be made almost entirely of carbon fibre – hull, foils, spars and fittings.
These class rules are based on the existing version of the RG65 class rules but are written to the World Sailing Standard Class Rules format. As such they form the basis for a future international class if sailors in the class wish to use them. Before the class can hold a world championship it is necessary that it achieves international designation and this, itself, is dependent on having class rules that meet the SCR standard.

Event calendar for National and International Events
As a continuing evolution of the IRSA site, a central National and International Events calendar is now available for members to advertise their major events on. This can be seen directly by going to the IRSA site and clicking on “Events”.
In the short time it has been available, many international events have already been placed there for 2017.
The features include:
- Next Events
- Archives
- Export Events
- Event management
All served by a search engine and filter.
Now if you wish to add your National Events there are a couple of steps to do this and these can be found in Event Management at: https://www.radiosailing.org/events/event-management
When ready, please send the details to be entered to either of these officers:
