Nope. The class will just be called "Spec" even if the class doesn't get voted into the rule book this winter.

you mean P-limited? This past year we've run a variety of motors and we've found that there isn't a motor that out performs all the others. One of the best motors was the Dynamite 1500. Your "spec" boats (as you call them) are fast enough to compete/beat most boats in the spec classes. I wouldn't worry about the spec motor rules just

Come to Michigan and have fun at the 2018 IMPBA FE Nats

Totally misunderstood the question Ray. Not sure about the rules and titles and such. The BOD did approve the list and the classes were proposed despite the concept being absolutely hated by some.

I get it. "National Champion" of nonexistent classes does smack weird don't it? I'll have to look into that.

Guys, All of the classes offered by the MMEU for the 2018 IMPBA Fast Electric Nationals are "National Championship" classes.

A 36" sail boat class with a maximum sail area of 1.75 square feet would be eligible for "National Championship" if approved by the BOD.

Happy New Year fellas!!

1.75 square feet and 36".....hmmmm
any hull, are hydra foils legal ?
And does it have to resemble an actually
race sail boat like similar to the sport hydra rules ?

Terry, what do you think.....could we figure out
some cheater equipment for this new class that Doug just thought of.....lol

I've got a few sailboats I could bring along.

We can mount NEU motors with air props on the deck, just in case there is no wind.

Ken, if these boats aren't fast enough for you then jump up to a faster class.

I'll likely find a way to use brass. Maybe a hammock of sort.

Hammocks.....hmmm
Thinking differently than you here......Sailboats !
We could all bring hammocks to the driver's stand and
I would assume that we all have to run the full six laps.....lol

Face it sometime in the future we will all be running sailboats.....lmao
