New IOM bulb moulds cnc-machined
Monday, October 25, 2010
Jari made these new IOM bulb-moulds over the weekend. CNC-milled in aluminium. Circular cross-section with a NACA0010-34 profile (similar to my 2005 design), length ca 360mm. Designed with a central stiffening brass rod. Check out rcyachttech.webs.com for more cnc-machined moulds and parts. See also casting notes from 2003.

Pikanto moulds
Sunday, November 29, 2009
Our three-piece hull/deck-moulds for the Pikanto IOM (designed by Graham Bantock) are now ready. The next step is to sand the surface smooth and polish the moulds. We hope to mould a prototype hull before the new year.
Garmin 405cx aboard an IOM
Saturday, October 3, 2009
The 405cx gps-watch is small and light enough to just tape to the aft-deck of an IOM. Today's event in Tampere had 12 races but I missed a few due to electrical problems. Races 1 and 2 above, and races 7-12 below. It's funny how google-maps and google-earth show permanent winter and ice in Tampere [...]
CFD with OpenFOAM
Saturday, September 26, 2009
Some details and text on the Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations that mostly Jari has been doing lately. They are done with the open-source software package OpenFOAM, which is of course free to download and use. We run it under Ubuntu, and use fairly affordable 4-core machines with 8 Gb of RAM. You start with a [...]

Monday, September 7, 2009
Thanks to Jussi Jaakkola for these images from Saturday's event. It's always nice to sail with the Nr 2 rig, we only get to do that once or twice per season usually.
2009 FIN IOM Ranking 5
Sunday, August 16, 2009
Some pictures from the first day: And some videos from the second day: (shot with an N95, sorry for the quality...) Results here. Does anyone have one of the new Canon or Nikon DSLRs which can record video? With a super-zoom (something like 18-200 mm), is it any good for recording video like this?
Mad Max comes to Finland
Sunday, April 19, 2009
Riku and Lasse from the Turku-area IOM-fleet are proud new owners of Jeff Byerley designed Mad Max IOMs. These are the very first boats to come out of Mike Clifton's moulds in the UK. Note black main-boom, I hear it's about 10% faster than the standard aluminum-colored one!
