Is setback and jacks allowed in OCR?

Alan

Alan, I'll do all the research mate and build it spot on

dont know if setback or jacks are allowed, but it wont need em anyway, i know the max Hull speed for it so i,ll base it somewhere in that region

Cheers
Allan

1 ) No you dont need your own Insurance as any Compulsory Insurance is covered by your License either Full or Day

2) A 14' Sequel provided it has a standard 4 Seat style Cockpit (no Race Decks) is fine with up to 70hp National (Possibly more as Basic) although for National would need to be Homologated !!

3) XR2's were Binned as there is no Standard Production 2 Ltr Engine available for Sale & OCR is a Standard Production Class
& 1.8 Ltr is only 4 mph (average) slower than 2 Ltr was

4) You may be able to run a 2.5Ltr in Formula 200 (Contact Adam Younger)

Any further info please ask specific questions!!

OK, Bob, have you still got the 'ump' over the phoney phantom thread?

How ya doing?

5) No Setbacks or Jacks are allowed.

6) Min Weight 'A' Class 575kg' 'B' Class 400kg 'C' Class TBA (i suspect somewhere around 300kg) Excluding Crew.

7) It looks as though we may this season allow a specific Exhaust Mod to make them Sound Better.!!

9) Sorry missed one Race Entries £150.00 per weekend (2 Days Racing)

I think that covers it !

Got bored with Phoney Phantoms !! Theyre becoming too common!!

C class TBA, 300kg with motor i take it?

RHINO · 24-01-2005, 09:05 PM

going back to the original thread,the proposed additional class is production class with 200hp with the smallest boat being a 18 ft phantom. as for full blown 2.5 it is a insurance problem.if you are racing in sheltered waters it is probably ok. but we race in the sea and that is never sheltered.so the risk is,an overpowered boat in unfamiliar waters.if this series is to get off the floor the opinion is to walk before we can run.our insurance is high enough as it is. this series ,200hp production,will be available this year as soon as the rya sort out the final detailes.

10) Weight is all up at the end of a Race inc residual fuel !! 300 kg is just a guess as some practical weighing will be required !!

11)Prop choice is free

12) Boat can be stripped to a bare minimum for National Class with 2 seats side by side , or if Tandem will need an audio / visual warning device attached to co-driver.

It has to be a standard production Boat as in it must be produced from an actual Mould & be available to anyone to purchace as a Race Boat There are none that i am aware of that have RCD Compliance !!

Gav · 24-01-2005, 10:08 PM

In the early 80's the top OCR Class was 115 hp & predominantly 14 - 16' Boats ('E' Class) in 88 ish 1.8 ltr became 'A' Class & Class structure was reversed . in 91 'A' Class became 2 Ltr & 1.8 was changed to 'B' Class 1.3 Ltr 'C' Class & 1.0 Ltr 'D' Class.

with the demise of the XR2 as a Standard Prod Motor it was decided to revert to the late 80's type Class Structure .

no wonder racing is in decline if you've just gone back to how it was 25 years ago
