HI.
I’m looking to build a TC from England once I send some $$$ over for the plans. My question is what is the diffrance between a USIOM and a IOM. Are they the same class or diffrent, if so in what way.
Thanks

You mean a USOM (rather than a USIOM)?
A quick look at the rules of both will show you the key differences. The IOM is more restricted and has a minimum sailing weight of 4kg. The USOM has fewer restrictions as to material etc, and most of the competitive USOMs are much lighter than IOMs.
You are in Australia? It’s a no brainer there - as far as I know there are no USOM fleets in Oz. The IOM is however widespread.
The TC is a good choice.

For a quicker start try looking at the ARYA site for 2nd boats for sail - www.radiosailing.org.au
