Status: offline 		The ODOM is a single design that was originally a US1M. I think it is based on the Mistral design. It is raced as a strict one design but can also be US1M eligible. But a US1M cannot be an ODOM as it does not come from a class certified mold.

As the ODOM is a 'locked in' design, it is possible that developments in the much more open US1M class could allow them to be faster.

And then there is IOM. With much more sail and a heavier balast making for a more powerful boat, the IOM is faster again in most conditions.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info John. Although I do not plan on racing I was wondering how the different classes vary. I will stick with my V32 and Footy for awhile.'
