DIAMOND is the Ten Rater we have been producing since 2007.
DIAMOND has proved a successful follow up to PRIZM (which took
the top two places in the most recent world championship (1999)
and many significant events since then) winning the 2007 and
2008 GBR national championships, 2008 FRA and AUS championships
and 2007 Brittany Cup. Louis Mazet's DIAMOND is one of several
owned in France. |

DIAMOND, like our
Marblehead, has the primary hull moulding made in one piece
using pre-preg carbon. This shot shows the general arrangement
around the mast. The snap in/out rigging screws use don all
SAILSetc production boats clip into a keyhole plate bolted over
a moulded recess. The gooseneck/kicking strap unit shown here is
and earlier version of the current item 12b. The primary hull
moulding has recesses into which we add the headsail sheet
fairleads and headsail boom swivel attachments. |

The recess for the rc pot and the special rc mount moulding are clearly shown here. An RMG280 winch is mounted on a plate and then held in place by two quick release screws. The rc mount in shaped to take the rudder servo on the port side. The recess around the mast tube allows good mechanical advantage for the gooseneck unit while keeping the mainsail luff length close to the maximum height permitted for the rig.

The lower rigs
normally have a pocket luff mainsail set on an un-stayed mast.
The headsail boom is based on the popular SAILSetc extrusion
originally intended for the IOM class. The ability to adjust and
re-adjust the position of everything on the boom is invaluable
in setting up and tuning the rig. |

The hull form of
DIAMOND has been developed from the successful PRIZM hull form.
The rocker line is quite deep at the fin where the increased
hull depth adds to stability by lowering the ballast without
increasing fin area. Towards the bow and stern the rocker line
becomes a straight line to maximize the boat's sailing length at
speed and when heeled. This also makes the boat responsive to
the helm and easy to manoeuvre. The fillets added to the leading
edge of the fin and rudder at their interesction with the hull
are standard items on SAILSetc boats (except SWORD). |

The general layout of the hull of the Marblehead and also the Ten Rater. For 2010 onwards the position and shape of the rc access hatch has been changed to permit the rc pot to be placed on the centreline.

The rc support tray is bonded onto the fin box, braced by the rc pot itself and bonded to the tube in which the main sheet post is placed. The rc tray is moulded with appropriate recesses for an RMG winch (or other drum winch) and a Futaba or equivalent servo. These items are held in place using our quiick release system that eliminates the need for a screwdriver.

Looking aft towards the rudder trunking. This shot shows the Ten Rater but the detail is the same on the Marblehead. The rudder trunking, item 69-040, has an 'O' ring incorporated into it to eliminate water ingress. The grip of the 'O' ring on the rudder shaft can be adjusted by tightening the upper part of the rudder trunking and a length of shrink fit tubing is added to lock the parts. The line tied to the rudder trunking saves the drain bung from being lost. Directly above the rudder trunking is the upper bearing for the rudder stock. To port (right) of the upper bearing is a hole cut in the deck to give access to the tiller arm screw. On the Marblehead this access hole is in the transom. Behind the rudder trunking is a moulding that connects the bottom of the hull to the deck and which adds stiffness to the deck so that it can take the backstay loads properly. The round shape showing on that moulding is a cap that attaches the backstay fitting neatly. Photo by SAILSetc |

The moulded diagonals. These are made of glass and epoxy resin but we use carbon/epoxy versions for the Marblehead and Ten Rater hulls.

This shot shows the connection between the upper end of the moulded diagonal and the underside of the hull/deck flange on an IOM. The diagonal is bonded in place with a stainless steel plate embedded underneath that takes the screws holding the shroud attachment plate in place. The same method is used in the Marblehead and Ten Rater. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
The shroud attachment plates set flush with the deck. The plate is held down to the deck and connected directly to the diagonals with two M2 stainless steel bolts. The lower end of the rigging screw is a ball that is pushed through the larger part of the keyhole and then slid across to the other part (inboard side). Adding and removing the rig is a little quicker thanks to this refinement and, if you wish to adjust the shroud tension, you can do it without removing the rigging screw. The same method is used for the Marblehead and Ten Rater. |

Looking forward to the rc support tray, screw top pot and the carbon tube in which the main sheet post is placed. The rc pot helps support the rc tray very positively.
|
|||
|
|

|
The top of the fin has a stainless steel insert bonded in place that takes the M4 stainless steel bolt used to hold the fin in place. Also visible at the head of the fin is the transverse screw that we use to align the fin correctly with the hull. This permits us to correct any discrepancy created by the fin box being bonded into the hull imperfectly. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Likewise at the bottom of the fin we use a stainless steel
insert through which M3 studding is placed. The fin is only
about 4.8 mm thick here so there is no chance of using anyhting
thicker than M3. The studding is bonded into the fin and the
ballast is held in place using the long nut with a slot to allow
tightening using a screwdriver. |
