Probable current specs are those posted as ALSA specs in the comparison list artice. Vic Bermingham built his to the current FISLY specs, which are different in mainly small aspects. the sail size seems to be 5.5m measured by the Fisly system, But as we (Lake Lefroy) are not currently ALSA members. I cant be sure

Hiko, the rules here have sat in a kind of limbo for about 10 years, mainly due ( in my opinion) to ALSA not really doing anything but exist. I blame people like myself, who were active sailors and organizers, who went off and focused more on raising young families, etc.
having returned to the sport , Weve found a degree of dissarray, and non acceptance that others havent noticed.
In Australia, and possibly Nz, there have been changes in those years, most noticably here is the introduction of BLOKARTS and the proliferation of the internet.
I hope in the next year or 2 there will be a period of acceptance and co-operation that sees the sport, rebuild into something we can take into the next decade.

Why thank you Hiko If only the rest of the Grumpy old crusties could see it that way.
I have the beginnings of 2 groups at high school level looking to build some yachts. I have volunteered as sailmaker for the Group Led by. The hardest part is NOT to build an OTT mini and just blow em all away.Last weekend we had 3 different models racing VERY hard in a trainig session and they were all incredibly close.Lake walyungup in 10 days should be fun

Only been in the sport 4 years susan and only been to events in the upper North island The numbers are much the same in that time with about 50/50/split between
class 3 and 5
More class 3 around Auckland and more class 5 around Bay of Plenty some people have both Blokarts mostly do their own thing
