Hey Pooch
very nice looking IOMs !
Just in case you don't know , on
www.theamya.org you can use the club locator
tab and scroll down to New York and find local rc clubs , the club listings usually
say what class boats are sailed there .
or try
www.iomclass.org for leads to find sailing friends......
.
interesting : the keels HAVE to be removable on IOMs .....
I don't know if you ever heard of an outfit called "Harbor Freight Tools"
they carry a dandy digital scale ,good to 11lbs,can measure in oz/grams/lbs.
usually lists for like 20. , but will often be a sale item (last saw it for $16.)
