iom yacht build

This site is primarily intended to help those building a one off IOM (International One Metre) or a similar radio controlled model yacht. Essentially the hull and decks can either by built in Glass / Epoxy throughout, or in Wood - typically Cedar or Balsa (balsa needs glass sheathing), and with a very thin ply deck.

Where you are intending to build a few similar boats, for example a group of you want to build the same design, a female mould of some form should be made. This is not dealt with here.

Decalogue against marine litter.

Given the serious problem posed by marine litter, AEBAM (Spanish Marine Litter Association) presented the “Citizen Decalogue against marine litter”, a document elaborated by environmental organizations, administrations, fishermen and companies, which includes tips and good practices focused on prevention, intending to help to keep beaches, coasts, and oceans clean.

Paperclip Mk3 IOM 2024 The hard chine version of the Ellipsis and Equinox IOM’s. It is intended to be built “Tape and Glue” from 1mm plywood sheets. The PDF and DXF drawings for theses hull and deck panels are included as are the sections if you would like to build the hull over frames.  The prototype built by Tony Goldsworthy seems to perform well.

The PDF Plan is on 7 A4 and 2 A3 sheets, The laser cut sheets are on 2 large sheets PDF and DXF.  The Plan is also available on  DXF, or DWG

New Equinox IOM   Plan : The Equinox is a variant of the Ellipsis… IOM.  The basic  design was produced initially as a 3D printed project that never eventuated for various reasons. Two prototypes were built including a 3D printed boat which was built by John Taylor in the UK.  The design incorporates several features of some of the newer IOM shapes including a fuller higher bow profile and wider stern. The design is well balanced and well behaved like the Ellipsis and also should be as easy to plank from wood.

Hulls an components for this design are now available. See IOM COMPONENTS  Page.

After payment is made. I will email you the pdf file.

Please ask If you require another format: DXF, or DWG, 2D or 3D or printed paper plan, postage extra.

Equinox IOM Basic Hull and Deck STL: This is suitable for turning into 3D drawings for 3D printing. Can also be used as is for CNC.

Builders should be aware that you also need to purchase the plan of the Equinox IOM to build the boat as the build licence is attached to the plan not to the STL.

Equinox IOM 20 section laser cut sections: less 3mm for planking with building base included.

You should be aware that you also need to purchase the plan of the Equinox IOM to build the boat as the licence is attached to the plan not to this drawing.

is backordered. We will ship it separately in 10 to 15 days.

Dragon Sailing North America is the authorized USA Factory for the ALIOTH International One Metre. This is a cutting edge International One Metre hull  and print design by top sailor Juan Egea from Spain at RC Sailing Labs. The ALIOTH design incorporates the latest cutting edge features of many top end International one meter classes including, balanced hull, hard chine, great forward buoyancy, among many other features! Juan's print design ensures that the licensed ALIOTH 3D print will be the proper width, quality, and rules compliant boat that you can enjoy for years to come! Our print is also structurally reinforced in several key areas not found in lower quality 3DP designs. DSNA uses PLA Tough Pro Filament for our prints to strive for  maximum durability and resistance to high temperatures. Our experience printing the hulls sections and sharing quality control information directly with other "Factories" and the designer, ensures a quality product for our skippers! Please note ,we require 5 business days to print a kit (7 Color Choices)  and internals (7 Color choices) . Each ALIOTH Lisenced Boat Kit Includes:

Paid License for the ALIOTH IOM 2023 Version 3!

3D printed Boat Hull sections (printed at 1.2mm width) Currently 3 sections (Unfinished, Unsanded, Uncut) 

Internal 3D Printed Parts printed at 100% infill to comply with IOM Class Rules to accomodate deck hardware and internal rigging nuts & screws

RC Sailing Labs Pot and screw on top 

Discounted Packages for DSNA  IOM Electronics / Batteries!

Alioth Licensed owners have full access to the forum at https://aliothiom.com for resources, and guides on building, finishing and coating the hull sections, rigging the boat, and getting a competitive IOM on the water racing! 

Please keep in mind however 3D printed boats will not hold up under long periods in high heat, especially darker colors!  When not on the water make sure to store under cover, and out of the sun! Our design can accomodate several different types of servos & winches, but we recommend our ALIOTH Electronics Package Which includes our multi-voltage/ digital/ coreless, SW22 Sail Winch (w/ 40mm Drum) & DFGMD1 Micro Servo, which help reduce overall weight.  These servos are both super high torque, high quality , and battle tested for the IOM class. We also offer complete deck and internal hardware kits as an add on option. Currently, complete keel fin, rudder fin  and Ballast must be sourced separately directly from RC Sailing Labs.   Other fins and bulbs can be fitted to the boat kit with printed adapters available on request. We also have lightweight, reliable LiPo & Life Batteries, chargers available .  Rigs and sails can be sourced worldwide from many different dealers, currently DSNA does not carry these item or build boats turnkey! In an era of radio sailing when high end competeitive boats can take years to get on the water, the ALIOTH IOM is a fantastic, low cost alternative to enter the international level  of high end radio sailing!
