B1

General

B1.1

Hull shall be monohull only. Canoe body depth in any section shall not decrease towards the center
line.

B1.2

A hull measurement shall be performed to create an OFF file describing the lines of the hull together
with appendages by using an ORC approved hull measurement machine or any available
measurement instrument capable to produce a list of the points in the co-ordinate system as defined
herein and detailed in the "ORC OFF File Format" document.

B1.3

The co-ordinate system defining the hull shall be positioned as follows:

IMS RULE

Part B - HULL

a) X axis longitudinal with 0 at stem and positive towards the stern

b) Y axis transverse with 0 at the centerline and positive towards the beam
c) Z axis vertical with 0 at the waterline and positive upwards
B2

Measurement Procedure

B2.1

The yacht shall be presented for measurement ashore in an accessible location, clear of obstructions,
properly and firmly chocked and leveled athwartships and approximately in the same longitudinal
trim which it might reasonably be expected to assume when afloat in measurement trim. A
centerboard, if any, shall be in its maximum raised position. A centerboard that can be locked to
prevent movement while racing, shall be in its locked position and measured as a keel. Rigging
shall be slack. All appendages shall be fitted and any fairings shall be in place.

B2.2

Station points shall be taken starting from deepest point to the sheerline at stations from stem to stern
as follows:
a) Approximately 20 stations shall be taken from each side spaced with maximum distance of 5%
LOA. Within the forward 15% of LOA the spacing between stations shall not be greater than
2.5% of LOA.
b) The forward freeboard station shall normally be placed approximately 0.5 m from the stem.
c) The aft freeboard station shall normally be placed at the aftermost section at which the hull could
be girthed without crossing the transom.
d) Stations shall be taken also at the edges of any appendage, at the maximum draft and at any
significant change of appendage profile in longitudinal direction.
e) Freeboards stations and at least one midship section shall be taken from both sides at the same
distance from the bow.

B2.3

The sheer point at any measurement station shall be defined by the following rules:
a) The sheer point shall normally be the lowest point on the topsides of the hull where a tangent at
45 degrees can be rested on the hull. The sheer point shall not, however, be taken to any point that
is above the lowest level of the deck, or its extension where it intersects the topsides at that
station. Where any bulwark or rubbing strake is fastened to the yacht, it shall be ignored in
determining the sheer point.
b) Where any bulwark is a fair continuation of the line of the topsides of the yacht the sheer point
shall be taken on the hull surface at the level of the lowest level of the deck at the station
projected through the bulwark.
c) Where the sheer point at any measurement station, as defined above in a) or b), is more than 0.05
* MB inboard of a vertical tangent to the hull at that station, the sheer point at that station will be
at the point on the hull a distance of 0.05 * MB inboard from the vertical tangent to the hull.
d) A bulwark shall be interpreted to mean any rail or part of the topsides extending above the lowest
level of the deck at that station.

IMS RULE

The level of the deck at any transverse station shall be taken to be the lowest level to which the yacht
is rendered watertight at that station. Abreast a well or cockpit the sheer point shall be taken to the
bulwark provided that this bulwark is in all respects a fair continuation of the hull surface. The sheer
line on the bulwark shall be a fair continuation of the sheer line forward and/or aft of a well or
cockpit. The edge of the working deck is defined as the most outboard point on the deck at the
sheerline.

B4.1

Once a hull is completely measured, an OFF file shall be generated using ORC-approved software
by the Rating Authority or if needed by the ORC Chief Measurer. Where a number of hulls of the
same model are built using the same moulds for hull, keel and rudder, a standard OFF file for that
model will be created and no hull measurement will be needed for other boats built from the same
mould.

B4.2

Any change of the hull, keel or rudder of a model with existing OFF file shall be re-measured again
and a new OFF file shall be created. In case of minor changes new measurements may be taken
directly on changed parts by taking new dimensions comparing with existing point co-ordinates and
changing them to the new values. Any larger changes shall be re-measured using the same method as
on the original model.

B5

Other Hull Measurements

B5.1

Hull construction shall be recorded as one of the following:

a) SOLID: Non-cored, solid E-glass, metal or wood hull and deck, but including also E-glass decks
with core material. Where the construction is of wood, the minimum density of any layer shall not
be less than 300 kg/m3.
b) CORED: Hull skin of E-glass (see above) or wood, but incorporating a core material of less
density than the skin.
c) LIGHT: All other construction types, but excluding the incorporation of any carbon fiber.
d) CARBON: Where carbon fiber has been incorporated anywhere in the construction of the hull
and/or deck
For hull and deck construction, a declaration from the owner may be substituted for examination of
one or more elements, but all elements are subject to examination at any time in cases of doubt.

IMS RULE

B5.2

Honeycomb core In addition to recording the appropriate construction type as above, if a

honeycomb core has been incorporated in hull or deck construction, this shall also be recorded as
"YES" or "NO".

B5.3

a) STANDARD: Neither rudder nor rudder post contain any carbon fiber.
b) CARBON: Rudder and/or rudder post contain carbon fiber in any amount.

B5.4

Forward Accommodation When the bow forward of the mast is fully fitted out as a separate
sleeping or living space built of solid construction, including bunks (pipe berths do not qualify),
personal gear stowage, etc., this shall be recorded as "YES" or "NO".

follows:

C1.2

ECM shall be the vertical distance from the lowest point of the hull or fixed keel, whichever is
deeper, to the lowest point of the centerboard in its fully lowered position. In the case of tandem
centerline centerboards, ECM shall be taken for the centerboard that produces the greatest effective
centerboard extension.

C1.3

KCDA shall be the vertical distance from the lowest point of the hull or fixed keel, whichever is
deeper to a point directly above the point of maximum thickness of the centerboard in its fully
lowered position on a buttock line on the keel or hull offset 2.5 times the maximum thickness of the

recorded as CBDB.

C1.6

Three centerboard chords shall be measured horizontally with the centerboard in the same position as
that in which ECM was determined as follows:

IMS RULE

Part C - APPENDAGES

a) CBRC shall be the centerboard root chord taken at the upper measurement point of ECM.
b) CBMC shall be the centerboard mid chord taken at 0.50 * ECM below the upper measurement
point of ECM.

Appendix 1 - ACCOMMODATION REGULATIONS

PART 1 - GENERAL
Introduction
The purpose of these regulations is to control cost, promote safety and crew comfort, and to
standardize the accommodation and outfit of the yachts within their respective divisions. Yachts are
categorized in two divisions: Racing Division or Cruiser/Racer Division depending on their interior
and accommodation features separating those designed for cruising and longer stay on a boat from
those primarily designed for racing.
The purpose of the Racing Division requirements is to ensure that boats meet the minimum standards
of accommodation in order to provide for comfort of crews and stowage of gear, maintain long term
value and to prevent unrated performance advantage from stripping hulls for racing.
The minimum requirements for the Cruiser Racer Division are intended to guarantee as far as
possible that boat follow the basic philosophy which include:
The purpose of the yacht shall be in the first instance cruising.
Accommodation layout and outfit shall be at least comparable to the standards of series
production models which would find a broad market as cruising yachts.
Sacrifice of layout and accommodation to features which are primarily suited to the racing
character of a yacht shall be suppressed.
The yacht without modification is fully suitable and actually used for cruising.
101

Divisions
1. Racing Division - Boats complying with Part 2.
2. Cruiser/Racer Division - Boats complying with Part 3 that may on their own choice join the
Racing Division.
3. None - Boats not complying with Part 2 nor Part 3
4. Boats that qualified in the Racing or Cruiser/Racer Division according to the measurements
before 01/01/2008 shall comply with the rules applicable at the time of measurement.
5. Boats with Age or Series Date prior to 01/1998 that will be measured for the first time after
01/01/2008 that are not complying completely with Part 2 or Part 3 may be grandfathered in
accordance with provisions of the IMS Regulations 2007.
6. Any division of fleets, whether only for scoring purposes or to actually separate fleets on the race
course, is at the discretion of National Authorities or local event organizers.

102

Fundamental Requirements and Definitions.

1. All systems relating to living, eating, sleeping, and stowage specified in these regulations shall be
arranged in a manner suitable for cruising use and shall operate so as to provide the service
function normally associated with the system. Items shall be presented as they are intended to be
used. For example, any item intended for use as a berth shall be in place and its function declared
at the time of inspection.
2. Designations such as table, berth, sink, stove, refrigerator, and so forth are intended to define the
full utility of conventional equipment and whatever weight is customarily associated with it.
3. Designations such as locker, bin and drawer, specify rigid construction and full practicality for
convenient and safe segregated stowage usable and accessible under offshore conditions. The
contents of all compartments shall be fully secured by doors or other suitable devices.
4. Permanently Installed means the items are built in and may not be removed from their
permanently installed position for or during racing.

requirements. Under this system, some latitude is allowed in capacities, numbers, areas and volumes,
but the deficiencies, sufficiencies and excesses are scored and the total of these must equal at least
100 points of Accommodation Rating. The elements scored and the relative weight given to each in
the scoring scheme are:
Weighting Factor
AL:

8.5m or greater less than 8.5m

Berths (number)
Fresh Water Capacity (liters)

For each element above, the Accommodation Table specifies the requirement according to
Accommodation Length. In the Accommodation Table, three values are given for each
accommodation element; a Standard value, a Maximum value and a Minimum value. A yacht which
was, for its size (AL), designed and outfitted with the Standard number of bunks, Standard fuel
capacity and so forth would score exactly 100 as its Accommodation Rating (the minimum for
compliance). Elements in excess of Standard will increase the Accommodation Rating and those
below Standard will decrease it.
317

Calculation of Accommodation Rating. A yacht with an Accommodation Rating less than 100.0
shall be excluded from racing in the Cruiser/Racer Division.
1. Accommodation Rating.
For AL 8.5m or greater,
Accommodation Rating = the sum of the Accommodation Scores.
For AL below 8.5m,
Accommodation Rating = the sum of the Accommodation Scores + 22.
2. Accommodation Score for any element is calculated as follows:
Accommodation Score = (Actual / Standard) * Weighting Factor
Where:
Actual is the number of qualifying berths, volume of qualifying personal gear stowage and
so forth actually found on the yacht.

32

An excess beyond the given Maximum for any element is not counted and deficiency below
Minimum on any element of accommodation disqualifies the yacht from racing in the
Cruiser/Racer Division.
3. Example:

IMS RULE

Standard is the Standard value for the particular element as given according to
