The ISO Class association is excited to announce that Ginger Boats Racing Ltd is the new builder of ISO hulls. Ginger Boats is already the builder of several boats in the RS range, as well as Flying Fifteens, Merlin Rockets, Solo and Mirror dinghies.

The Ginger Boats, ISO-2 hull is on display at the RYA dinghy show.  The new hull is constructed using epoxy glass-fibre and has been stiffened in high-load areas.  The ISO-2 hull is approximately 30 kg lighter than the original ISO hulls and is expected to be very competitive compared to existing boats in the ISO fleet.  A hull-only option will be offered so that existing owners can transfer the spars and foils across from their ISO-1 to obtain  a very competitive boat at an affordable price.
Vantage sailing continue to provide fantastic support to the ISO class in supplying sails, spars, foils and other components.

Joining the ISO Class Association at this important stage would mean that you have the opportunity to help shape how the class progresses – for example, should the class allow new, lighter foils, and lighter wings to be made and used?  How should the rules be adapted to accommodate both ISO-1 and ISO-2 boats.  The ISO Class Association would love to hear your thoughts on this – you would be joining a friendly group of experienced sailors and your views would really count.

The ISO race circuit is sponsored by Ronstan and English Braids and we expect to continue to pair up with the 4000 fleet to offer exciting racing and fun socials at some great venues.  The ISO Nationals will be at Plymouth and for the Europeans we will join the large Italian ISO fleet on Lake Garda.
