One Design Sanctioned in 1995. Also called "One Design One Meter". The ODOM is based on a U.S. One Meter design. This small-sized yacht's kit must be initially purchased from the manufacturer. Sails are strictly controlled, but may be purchased or made from scratch. This one design class allows no variations. The class is managed by a class association. 39.37" long.

Odom is a One Design Class. See the Class Rules for specifications. Length 39 3/8". Weight 7 1/4 lbs. height bottom of bulb to masthead 75". Comes in 12 hull colors. Minimum construction time. Good entry level boat. Handles strong puffs, choppy water, and points well.

One Design Sanctioned in 1997. Large one-design modeled after full-size "Maxi" boats. 2000 sq. in. of sail, 30 pounds displacement and is 79" long.

Performance is the name of the game and these boats will get up on plane in a breeze, particularly on a reach. Many top sailors will attest, including Nationally ranked IOM skippers; this is as close to "real boat" sailing as you will find in a R/C model boat.

The boat is 79" in overall length, 63" at the waterline with a 15" beam and carrying 2,000 square inches of sail on a fractional rig. The minimum weight of the boat is 30 pounds, although most boats in the fleet are closer to 32 pounds (up to 35 lbs). The keel bulb weighs in at 19 pounds.

As a one-design class; the hull form, rudder and rig/sail dimensions are controlled by rule. That said there are opportunities for significant innovations in electronics and sail control; two channel boats are competitive as are boats operating with up to 7 channels. Additional features include powered boom vangs (introduced by Adrian Olson), powered backstay tension and jib trim in order to provide improved on the water sail control, similar to a "real boat". Multiple rigs are not required and the boat moves well across the wind ranges to 20+ knots.

There have been 80+ boats built to date, primarily by George Ribeiro and Adrian Olson. George Ribeiro is the current builder of record. He offers build kits to various stages of completion. George's coordinates are (831) 247-1428, george.sail@icloud.com and 360 Fiesta Way, Watsonville, CA 95076.
