The IOMCAT radio sailing association is open to all skippers of International One Metre (IOM) radio-controlled yachts in Catalonia. Its aim is to promote IOM class activity in Catalonia.
The IOM is one of the classes recognised by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV).
What you need to race in Catalonia
To take part in official regattas in Catalonia you need:
- A sailing federation licence for the current year (usually from the Catalan Sailing Federation, FCV).
- IOMCAT membership.
- ANVRC membership (Spanish national radio sailing association), which allocates sail numbers.
How the class is organised
IOM ICA
The International One Metre Class Association is responsible for the class rules, international events, measurement and the recognition of national associations.
National class association (IOM NCA)
Represents Spanish skippers: it runs national events and manages the class membership register (class card) and the boat register.
Federations
The IOM is recognised by the sailing federations at every level: FCV (Catalan Sailing Federation), RFEV (Royal Spanish Sailing Federation) and World Sailing (formerly ISAF).
