ROUND 3
Even without the chance to present their brand-new
Yngling to a broad public on the occasion of the Worlds
in Berlin, Mader Boatyard continues building boats
without interruption. The new hull is taking shape.
In order to transmit the forces of the keel to the boat

in the bilge area.
Question: What is this element called?

Why does the Yngling shown in the sail have a Z

b. The stability of the boat is tested for lateral forces.
c. The position of the vertical centre of gravity of the

Question 3
Since when are today’s usual three-digit country codes
part of the sail number?
a. At the turn of the millennium, starting from the year
2000, ISAF introduced standardized three-letter
country codes.
b. At the 1995 annual meeting of ISAF, it was decided to
use three-digit country codes. After a transitional
period of 4 years, from 31 March 1999, the three-digit
code was obligatory when sails were re-measured.
c. On November 10, 2000, the Yngling class was
selected by the ISAF as the women’s Olympic
keelboat class for the 2004 Summer Olympic
Games in Athens. The Yngling class also had
to adopt the three-digit country code that is
mandatory for other Olympic boat classes.

This spring, having replaced the standing rigging on

resigned myself to either laboriously carving a plastic
chopping board, or messily attempting to cast the

purpose software, be aware of the limitations of the

3D printing.
My biggest problem in developing the CAD model of
my spreader end cap was not so much the use of the
software, as the fact that my example end cap was
broken and I wasn’t actually sure as to what it was for
(e.g. should it grip the shrouds tightly, or should they
be free to move through the end cap; I settled for a
friction grip).
I didn’t entirely trust my measurements, and I wasn’t
sure what the dimensional tolerance on printing
would be, so I had deliberately made my model
slightly over size, in order to be able to sand the part
to an exact fit. My lack of experience with CAD
software and the limitations of TinkerCad meant
that the model didn’t have chamfered edges so
these would in any case have to be rounded off. As
I had concerns about the ability of PLA to survive the
summer temperatures and UV light here in Switzer-
land, I chose to print my first parts in PETG (see Table
1) from a commercial online service and the parts duly
arrived a few days later. It turned out to be quite a lot
harder to sand PETG than wood, but after an hour
or so of sanding I was pleased with the fit into the
spreader. I then learnt the hard way that PETG (and
14PLA) are somewhat brittle and broke the parts whilst
trying to force the shroud through the clamping part
into the groove foreseen for it within the end cap...
In the meantime, I had learnt that a friend of mine had
their own 3D printer (using PLA) and had quite some
experience. They helped to make a slightly better
CAD model (using FreeCad), and offered to also print
the parts at slightly different sizes to save time with
the fitting. It is possible to sand PLA or PETG by hand,
but due to their low glass transition temperature (I.e.
softening point) it is tricky to use an electric drill or
abrasive tool such as a Dremel. If you have access to
your own printer, a trial and error approach, adjusting
the CAD model after each test fit is probably fastest.
PLA and PETG come in a range of colours so I decid-
ed to print the port and starboard endcaps in red and
green, see Figure 3 and Figure 4. I had intended to
wrap the endcaps in protective tape to protect the
plastic from sunshine (and the sails from the end cap),
but forgot to do this; after one season, the end caps
still look OK.
In summary, where not too much strength or flexibility
is required, and no heat from friction will be generated,
3D printing using plastics can be used to economical- Figure 3

The Skipper Development Program, which was
launched in September 2019, continued during
2020. Unfortunately, due to the bushfires, busy
participant schedules and COVID-19 restrictions,
the number of program sessions was lower
than planned. Nonetheless, the AIYA remains
committed to the development of the
participants, and further sessions are planned
for the 2020-2021 sailing season.
The Yngling continues to be one of the key one-
design keelboat classes at RSYS and provides
regular opportunities for close and competitive
one-design racing, skills development, social
engagement and connection with fellow Yngling
sailors in Europe and the United States.

Departure was after 12 noon with the wind from
the north. When all Ynglings got to the start line,
there was only a slight south wind. After waiting
a while the prospects looked bad, and everyone
returned to the harbour. Shortly after, the north
wind picked up again, which, to the surprise of
almost everyone, built up quickly, and we left
again. We sailed two very nice races in perfect
conditions up to 3 beaufort. In the first race, the
result reflected the usual pattern of this year,
