Description

Added sails for a model of RC sailboat

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

RG65 RC RG-65 class Sail boat "Palo de Agua"

Differences of the remix compared to the original.

Added sails in case someone needs to make a small shelf model. I'm not sure of some details, I can easily remove the jib-boom we used on RC models if that is correct, and attach mainsail to boom. To assemble the model may require adding stays and sheets for strength.

RG65 International Class Association

The “RG-65” is a Radio Controlled Monohull Sailboat, 65cm long, driven by sails with up to 2250 cm2 of area.

By definition a Development Class, every variation or innovation is allowed, except if specifically prohibited by the Class Rules with certification of compliance to rules through a Self Certification process.

The original concept was developed during the 1950s by Juan Ghersi, a member of the model sailing activity at the Plaza Urquiza ( https://goo.gl/maps/sym9gUWxzkx ), at Buenos Aires, Argentina.

History of the Class

1932 A pond is inaugurated at the “Plaza Justo José de Urquiza”, now renamed to “Plaza Rubén Darío”. Read more at https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_Rubén_Darío_(Buenos_Aires) . In Spanish.

1956 Strong sailing activity at the Plaza Urquiza Pond, and Juan Gherzi brings a 65 cm boat which was admired and well accepted. Its size fits very well into this pond! The boats became known as “65” or “G”.

1978, 25th June At about 4 PM, at the same time as the Final Game of the Soccer World Championship was being played, Raul Landó (1938-2000) launched his R/C equipped “G” at the Plaza Urquiza Pond. This was the First “RG”! The good sailing properties of this boat got other “G” sailors to upgrade their boats to R/C as well.

1998 CAYM (Club Argentino de Yates Modelo) commissioned Fredo Vollmer to rewrite the traditional Rules according to the format proposed by ISAF/RSD. Approved by majority of all Registered Members of the Class (18, Eighteen registered boats!), this became the First Version of our present Rules of Measurement.

1999 “Palo de Agua” first ever and only R/C Sailboat Plans with Building Instructions published at the Internet. At that time there where very few RG65 sailing outside the CAYM, but this publication promoted the Class considerably. A Sailing Group formed at the Rosedal Park ( “Rosedal” Sailing site (1999) ), in Buenos Aires, and this Group sprouted others …

2000 First “RG65” in Europe: “Sirius”, by Juan Emilio Almécija Alegría, launched on July 20, 2000, at San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia (Spain). “Sirius” Pictures HERE!

2005 First RG65 in USA! Dick Lemke launched his “JIF”, designed and published on the Web by Máximo Lange, Pioneer of the Class and old Member of the CAYM.

2006 RG65-ICA created. Nine (?) countries participating, and Máximo Lange appointed Manager by consensus. He consolidated the class in its International characteristic, and organized the first World Championship of the Class. He served the Class until 2011.

2011 Antoine Froment takes over the Chair from Máximo and update the Class Rules in 2014

2014 Fredo Vollmer takes over the Chair of the ICA from Antoine

2020 Wayne Stobbs assumes the Chair of the ICA and establishes a working group to gather the thoughts of the RG65 Community in preparation for the re-invigoration of the ICA, including the establishment of a ICA Constitution and a refreshed version of the class rules .

RG 65 design posts

Discussion in ' General Discussion (RG65) ' started by Frederico Schmidt Filho , May 1, 2011 .

Frederico Schmidt Filho New Member

I invite all peoples interested on RG 65 to participate in the posts about RG 65 design in: http://iomdesign.wordpress.com/ Will be a series of posts about RG 65 design. All peoples will be welcome. Data, questions, doubts, divergences, are welcome. Cheers Fred  

Ericr367 New Member

Thanks Fred, I will check it out. Your recent entries on using Freeship to design a boat are very interesting. Thanks!  

RGSAILOR Member

Hi Fred As an end user of the program i was thrown into using it. I am now cutting my 3rd RG65 plug on my CNC router from drawings done with freeship and delpship by other people. not very user friendly from my end so far... Lots of questions here. I'll be watching closely. Thanks for doing this ! Craig

I am a bit disappointed to see yet another website with RG-65 plans. Any reason why they could not be included within the site of the original "central location" for RG65 plans ? http://rg65.free.fr/start.php or ..... perhaps bring them to your site? When new owner/builder/sailors are looking for plans - it is nice to have a single source or location. Just a suggestion. Dick USA # 05 (RG-65)  

Hi Dick It is my understanding this is a place to "learn" the design program. Craig  

martin New Member

While the French site does hava a lot of plans, it makes no claims that it covers all or has any official status. My latest boat, a mini Riptide, for instance isn't listed. Fred's aim is I think to open a discussion on what and why is the ideal hull form for the class.  

Martin & Craig - sorry - it wasn't the way I read the post. I'll have to take some time and perhaps I will find out how to print "buttocks" lines and only a "few" station templates. Martin - if you have the lines for RipTide, do you plan to save to the "plans website"? I just hate to see so many different web sites where information is shared - but you can't remember where you saw it. Ideally (a suggestion) some of this really belongs on the INTERNATIONAL RG65 Forum/site. I do like "one-stop" shopping.  

The Riptide lines are on http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=14123203&postcount=22  

Martin - thanks for the link. I have a set of lines for the Marblehead "WIND" that I had reduced to 36 inches. Was my first "plank" construction, and while a bit heavy, it is still a fun boat to sail. Photos are of the boat using a 600 sq. in. sail area

Sorry for not reply sooner but doing the posts takes a long time. i will try to answer all generally. These post follows the line of my blog - Design accessible to all. I am not doing a RG 65 plan, it is a consequence of the desire to discuss in the blog, with people from around the world, all aspects related to the design of a RG 65 . What is the data that we have, what is the consequences in doing this or that, rather than generic, but mathematically and running in the drawing . it's an opportunity to learn, exchange ideas with people around the world, be they curious or technical. These posts could become an experience of brotherhood of all people, between people who like to talk, learn and teach, about something in common, in this case RG 65. As I say in my first post, " Will be a series of posts about RG 65 design . All peoples will be welcome. Data, questions, doubts, divergences, are welcome." Logically I need explain the Freeship use because I do not want that the lack of use freeship is an obstacle. i thank everyone here at this thread, with some already exchanged emails and i deeply honor it, because i was always very well attended. i'm waiting for you with your questions, doubts, disagreements, agreements, teachings, etc. Let's talk about the design of a rg 65? Dick, surely you're right, let's put all the plans there. This i am doing so open, i do not think will be very good, because it's my first RG 65 project, but if it is reasonable i'll put there. And it would be funny if it were several designers from the same project, just join, all we will do a joint project. Thanks to Eric, Craig, Dick and Martin  

Frederico - May I only suggest that discussion about RG65 design take place in the RG65 forum/topics here - or at the international RG65 forum where most of us interested in the RG class go to find or share information. There would be little reason for an RG sailor to visit a site called the "IOM Design" site. There is room here, and the site owner welcomes new posts in the correct forums. Basically, if you want to discuss RG65 design, it really should be on an RG forum. If you set up yet another RG65 site, you may find many who might discuss the class and design may not join in. Keep in mind, that for us here in the U.S. - we virtually knew very little (nothing ?) about the class until Brett McCormack made the posts and introduced us to the class, the designs, and the history. I would credit him (even if he is from down-under ) with getting the class started with information here in the United States. We took it from there and promoted within, and of course Maximo Lange was very helpful in answering many of our questions as we started the class. Now we (the US) have a lot of knowledge spread among many sailors, and we see people coming here and to the US RG65 site on Yahoo to ask questions and get answers. Why not make use of the large group of subscribers who already use this site? Without the many from South America, and France and Spain, who got us going in the right direction, we would not have the class we now have. With regards, Dick Lemke USA # 05 RG65  

Dick, I am in RC since july 2009. I am a retired naval architect (67 years old) and worked in big ships fifteen years, 14.000 tdw to 26500 tdw cargo ships and bulkcarriers. After, I do a shipyard and design and build motor boats and trawlers from 12' to 60' and also I was teacher in a school that taught fluvial boats design. And with the age I was retired, but I love boat design. When I found the RC sailboats in one YouTube vídeo the old passion comes back, was a Brazilian IOM Anual Championship video, and i started well in the IOM and i have done two projects that are navigating. More later I found the RG 65 and the Footy, but when I started my Braziliam blog and more latter the blog in English really the main focus was to IOM, but now I have 2 IOM, two Footy - Pool Shark 3D - from Chris Staiger - and Carcara my first Footy design that I do in home vaccum forming, (see my other blog - http://footybrasil.wordpress.com/ ) alias, i became registrar of footy here in Brazil and now is time for RG 65. My Blog from IOM - design accesible to all - change to - IOM, RG 65 & Footy - Design accessible to all, but the blog adress do not change. The work that I'm doing in the blog can not be done here. Have you been on the blog and saw? Sorry for the inconvenience Cheers Fred
