MinuteMan

The U.S. One Meter Class is a developmental class, which means there are very few design restrictions. The basic design restrictions include, overall hull length, keel depth and sail area. The unrestrictive nature of the specifications, encourages one of a kind Home Built yachts. The hull can be self designed or built from plans, and easily planked from wood.  Or, you can purchase a kit or complete boat from one of several suppliers. The structure of the class specifications allows the designer/builder to experiment with a design, and then try it out on the water.  MmMYC has been a significant contributor to the success of this class.  Our Vice Commodore, Jim Linville….seen in the photo below with US1M #14… served as Class Secretary for many years; and, the club has 2 sailors who have won one or more National Championships.
