The Phigit class has found its home in Italy
under the care of Salvatore. This temporary 'Home Page' for the Phigit class
now points to Salvatore's site.
Class concept
From the Class Rules forward:
The Phigit class is intended to provide opportunities for non-professional builders to design, develop, and race a radio controlled boat with very few restrictions to the hull and radio control equipment, while exploiting the free availability of sails, rigs, and appendages from the popular and established IOM class. Owners and crews may note that:
- The major measurement controls of the boat are carried out at an event.
- The two gauges (depth restriction, vertical centre of gravity) used for measurement control may be easily constructed, allowing an owner to carry out simple self-checks of rule conformity.
- A boat may be issued with a certificate following an owner’s self-declaration of the measurements required on the measurement forms.
- Sails may be certified either by an official measurer, or by the manufacturer if approved by the Class Management Group.
Phigit in Italy
Salvatore Cuomo ("avel30" at "yahoo" dot "it", you know to replace the "at" with "@" and the "dot" with ".") has taken over the class management. Please visit www.phigit.org.
