US I 5.6 mini

Updated International 5.6 Mini Rules *

January 2016

After months of discussion, FISLY has agreed to sanction 2 classes of Mini Yachts, Sport and Spirit.

The Sport Class rules are unchanged from the Mini Class rules that have existed for the past serveral years, Anyone who has a boat that has legally competed in international Mini events in the past can continue to compete in the Sport Class.

The Spirit Class (or maybe more accurately, sub-class) has more restrictive rules designed to keep the class inexpensive and competitive without the constant tinkering required by a more open class. All Spirit Class boats can still legally compete in the Sport Class.

Interested US 5.6 Mini Association members voted overwhelmingly to accept the 2 class system.

A Sport Class mini yacht is:

  • Any assembled land or sand yacht that fits inside a continuous loop of rope 5.6 meters long.**
  • The rope must lie on the ground. The touching part of the tyres on the ground must fit inside the rope.
  • The tyre size is maximum 400x8***
  • The mast must be a circular tube; no wing section
When racing in NALSA events, all NALSA rules apply when applicable (seatbelts and helmets required, for example)

A Spirit Class mini yacht:

1. A fully assembled Spirit miniyacht must have all wheels fit inside a continuous loop of rope/ cable 5.60 meter long and of 4mm minimum diameter.*

2. The Spirit Miniyacht must be measured on hard, level ground, with the measuring rope or cable running around the outside of the point of contact between each wheel and the ground.

3. The wheels / wheel rims on the Spirit Miniyacht without exception must be what are known as a “wheel barrow” style.

4. The tyre size is maximum 4.80/400x8 and the wheel/wheel rim with a fitted inflated tyre is a maximum of 400mm tall and 100mm wide when inflated firmly. Without a tyre the maximum permitted height of a wheel/wheel rim at its tallest point is 230mm and the minimum wheel/wheel rim width is 70mm.

5. The mast must be of circular tube, any cross section of the mast must be circular and no wing sections are allowed on or around the mast.

6. The seat shape must be such that the pilot’s body is always fully exposed from the mast foot rearwards when viewed directly from above.

7. The sail must be free to rotate around the mast with a mast pocket that is constructed of sail cloth, without any stiffener, shape former, camber inducer or other support or shape inducer apart from sail battens.

8. The boom must extend behind / past the pilot’s head. With the sail fully sheeted in and the pilot facing forward, the boom must be able to pass freely over the pilot's head and helmet

9. Sail Control, a maximum of 4 pulley wheels are allowed on any sheet rope used for sail control, one pulley and one end of this sheet rope must be behind the pilot.

10. Forward visibility, for safety the pilot must have unobstructed forward vision at all times and no part of the yacht or sail - apart from the mast or mast supports shall obstruct the forward or side vision of the pilot.

11. No aerodynamic fairing is permitted on any wheel, mast or axle. A simple splash or mud guard is allowed on any front wheel and only on a front wheel.

12. Front wheel : No part of the yacht or the pilot is allowed to go forward of the front wheel centre point.

13. Mast foot, 200mm is the minimum distance between the rear of a Spirit Miniyacht front wheel and the front of a mast.

14. Brake, a Spirit Miniyacht is recommended to have an effective brake.

Illustrations and details are available in PDF format . When racing in NALSA events, all NALSA rules apply when applicable (seatbelts and helmets required, for example)

The US International 5.6 Mini Association is dedicated to promoting sailing and racing of International 5.6 mini yachts in the United States.   Our intentions are to continue to grow the Intl. 5.6 class.   We have created a temporary committee of 5 to handle current and future decisions for the US International 5.6 mini class.   There may be a need for decisions at races, i.e. race course, rolling starts related to wind speed, cart specs. Etc.   Any questions or input should be directed to the committee members:   Allen Mauldin, [email protected] , John Eisenlohr [email protected] , Mike Grimm, [email protected] ,   Burton Grover   [email protected] , and Bob Schumacher [email protected] .         Burton Grover is our NALSA representative with one vote in NALSA, And Burton and John Eisenlohr are our International reps for input on decisions regarding the Int. 5.6 mini.   We also plan on having a Facebook page for discussions and information regarding the 5.6 mini class.   I will continue to send out information to all that I have emails for.   Please send to Allen Mauldin email addresses if you wish to be added.

From what I've read this is 180 degrees from what FISLY were contemplating...should be interesting viewing. I won't mention the positives of such a decision, though there are a few. Do you think this will adversely affect sailors entering the sport who wish to race but can't afford (time/money/knowledge/time/etc) a 'high-end' 5.6mini landyacht?

Creating a TRUE international class for any sport is a chance that doesn’t come up often, it’s only happened a few of times in sports. Motor racing, cycling, and yachting, It’s there for the sport of land sailing worldwide at the moment with the mini 5.6 rule. It needs to be done with a long term view of a sport rather than from a selfish personal biased view from a particular person or country. FISLY have done an amazing job of formulating the first true world wide class of MINI 5.6 yet some people trying to manipulate the rules for their own personal reasons….why? One of the reasons the sport has NOT flourished worldwide is there is NO flow through from beginners to top level competition, motorsport is a wonderful example of a well structured sport. The MINI 5.6 is there to be an introduction to the sport for newcomers, often totally inexperienced women and children and on small sailing sites. Then moving on to more advanced race classes. If groups create a fragmented versions of a class they undermine the ENTIRE sport not just that class. This is what has happened in past with VERY poor results. The proposed specs for the US 5.6 Mini is just plain stupid ….. where are the newcomers in the US going to come into the sport? What they will enter is full on ‘no restriction’ class that will cost an arm and leg. Some of the high tech materials have and will be used just to ‘win’ in the class but at what cost….. All right for some with VERY selfish and personal reasons. Please lets just have ONE Mini 5.6 class worldwide and promote the sport for all..

Burt, If you want to create a FREE design class call it that or some other thing else, be creative with what your group is or wants to be ... BUT do NOT call it a 'MINI' or have '5.6' in the name as this confuses newcomers. Do the right thing for the sport and land sailers worldwide.

Gizmo makes a good point and is what FISLY is expecting to do (I believe) - create a group for those wishing to go faster (ie: 5.6mini 'open' and 'restricted'). Seems simple enough to me to work with, at least until we try and decide what features fit the 'restricted' or 'open' classifications. This said, the USA situation is a little different to the rest of the world. I think they have an entry class, this being the Manta. However, the USA may find it hard to attract European landsailors who enjoy the current 5.6mini (or future 5.6mini R class).

unusual for me to say the the US rules are a tad to simple , but I think the wheel restrictions should have remained. other than that Im fine with it . the problem that I see is that all the rules that get proposed are basically there to hold back those that re developing the class and advancing the sport. by resticting them you are killing the sport whilst accusing them of killing the sport . the people you want to simply buy a yacht and expect to win are never going to be happy. i would suggest they buy a blokart and go blokarting. that would solve all their issues. in terms of cost. the fastest,and most advanced minis around are all built by people who have taught themselves the skills required to design , build and race the machines. they are generally the most giving of knowledge and time to encourage and teach others

I agree with Landyacht. By teaching others the knowledge and skills as well as encouraging helps the sport progress. The fast guys want others to improve, its pointless designing and developing a fast mini if you have no competition. Designing and building land yachts is an investment in time. Most are made from recycled materials anyway. I think the most exotic material is some carbon fibre that I put on my seat. Nothing too high tech about that. Mini yachts aren't expensive compared to a fully decked out performance blokart. If you have to pay someone else to build YOUR yacht it can be expensive. Designing and building is part of the fun (its not windy every weekend). I love the mini class more than class 5 because I have the freedom to express and explore my ideas.

The US miniyacht association has been exstablished for the last 11 years and we have endured the negative responses to the mini class which has changed since the advent of the FISLY 5.6 mini class. We support FISLY! They have done a great job and they will continue to do so. The US 5.6 mini class is a " US class only!" not ment to be an international class, or to set a precedence for any other country. We will continue to support FISLY's 5.6 mini class. I understand that in 2017 there may be some rule changes to try and bring back the original intent of the class as an avenue for all ages and skill levels in a safer, more EQUAL racing venue. These pending changes could effect all 5.6 mini yachts with bodies or body types, which would exclude those yachts. We feel there needs to be a place for all pilots and their yachts to race. So, like the UK, we in the US, will support the FISLY 5.6 mini class. And the unlimited US 5.6 mini class. Burt/US306

here we go again another person wanting to do what they want and the rest of the world can go jump seen it before i shake my head

Well I guess I will throw my hat into the ring. I have been landsailing for the last 8 years or so and have enjoyed it since day 1. My rules are, find a large flat spot, wind blowing, setup yacht, go sailing!! No rules, lots of fun. To many rules ruins any novis sport for anyone, just when you think you got it right, they change the rules. Use the KISS theory, they had a good plan for the 5.6 mini class when it started, Leave it alone. Not many people can afford a 3,000 dollar mini yacht.

I guess there are two issues at play here also. Racing vs. novice entry into the sport, do novice sailors really need to be competitive racing? Would they ever be regardless of yacht? Windcrazy has a point too, anyone can still rock up and sail. And I would argue for any club/group to make sure this can happen. I doubt anyone would argue that you can be competitive without devoting considerable resources, practice likely being the number one. But I wonder why the current FISLY 5.6mini rules, to which people have already been building to with varied and exotic results, has been deemed too restrictive?

I second the point that Chook made Your new 5.6 definition includes kite buggies which in many cases will blow minis out of the water because they can carry so much more sail. How about considering the consequences before jumping in the deep end.

Are the rule changes that are being considered published anywhere? Has FISLY requested input from interested people or is this purely a top down process? All the information on FISLY rules that I could find on the internet was dated.

http://www.fisly.org/index.php?id=1 Lots of info if you go exploring the FISLY website.

Gizmo said.. http://www.fisly.org/index.php?id=1 Lots of info if you go exploring the FISLY website. Thanks for your reply, Gizmo, but I had already looked at the FISLY site. The latest information on mini yacht rules is dated 2012. There is nothing on proposed rule changes or on a rules committee or how rule changes occur within FISLY. Perhaps I just missed it?

When the mini 5.6 rules came in they were locked in for a period of 4 years to stop the constant changing of regulations, by doing so it has established some consistency. So I doubt if there were to be changes in the future they would only be minor. Unfortunately the U.S. has tried to modify the rules to suit their own needs limiting the US yachts in international events and international yachts in US events, why people would go down that path is beyond me. One of the reasons the Mini 5.6 rule came in was to establish a truly International yacht class. If you were after more specific details about FISLY / rule changes etc. I suggest that you contact them directly rather than use a forum often based around speculation.

The 4 year period appears to end next year and, based on what Lachlan3556 posted above, it appeared that discussions of rules were already underway - somewhere by someone. I was just trying to find out what is being discussed. I have no problems with the current International mini yacht specs. I do have some concerns about how the races are run, in particular, about the flying start for a race of more than 40 minis with no effective brakes, like last year at Smith Creek. Although I like the idea of a flying start for sailboats going ~6 - 10 knots, it doesn't seem very safe for a large number of minis going much faster.

I would have thought that actual localised race details are more of concern of the local site club / group rather than the International Sport Governing Body. Who were the site / race organisers at Smith Creek? Who devised the starting setup at that event, was it NALSA or FISLY or someone else? I have to agree moving starts can often be a nightmare, stationary starts with the pilot in the yacht seem to be the standard for many places these days, I actually love running push starts. www.fisly.org/rules/isrr.pdf

I believe the flying start was a FISLY rule for minis. NALSA classes all have standing or push starts.

I found these details... nalsa.org/Worlds2014Pages/RaceInfo.html nalsa.org/Worlds2014Pages/StartZone.html Did you or anyone else make any comment officially to FISLY or NALSA about the starting problems so it could be taken into account for future events via emails, Facebook or the FISLY forum? If not how would they know there was dissatisfaction? Perhaps we are getting a bit side tracked from the original thread subject.

Ive only seen 1 bingle where yacht damage has occured and in my opinion that was a case of throwing common sense out of the window in favour of demanding your rights even though you know the other yacht just cant manouver. in stronger winds class 5 needs a standing start. in the one bit of video Ive seen of the minis starting in Nevada , my impressions were that a down wind start isnt a very good idea anyway, and the goodpilot/bad pilot observation applied . Learning to get a good start ,standing or otherwise is one of the most critical parts of a race. most of the time the best starter is the winner, so go out on non race days and set up a course and spend the day starting , especially in light winds, add that to the days spent learning to corner and drift turn and you will soon improve

My preference is for line starts, To me it seems fairer and eliminates the risk of pain or damage before the race has even started.

My concern about flying starts for the Mini 5.6 class stems from my understanding of the intent of the Mini class. If, as Gizmo states above, "The MINI 5.6 is there to be an introduction to the sport for newcomers, often totally inexperienced women and children and on small sailing sites. Then moving on to more advanced race classes." then I believe a flying start is totally inappropriate. The Mini 5.6 class at Smith Creek, however, was not a novice class. It contained an eclectic mix from homebuilts with wheelbarrow wheels to factory sponsored all-out racing machines. The pilots' experience spanned the spectrum from total neophytes to former champions in big boat classes with decades of racing experience. Not a good formula for a flying start IMHO. Finally, if Gizmo is correct, why would a current or former world champion want to compete in a novice class? Is it because they still have an empty spot in their trophy case or is it simply a compulsive need to win? On the other hand, if Gizmo is not correct, what is the intent of the Mini class? Perhaps this needs to be clarified first.

I like a lot of people have been surprised at the rapid development of the Mini 5.6 class and as a suggestion of rather trying to limit or restrict it at the start by design rules and restrictions etc. (which will be manipulated by most people for their own benefits) why not look at the other end.... on the track. For example many sports use a handicap system of some sort Golf, Horse racing and 'wet' sailing from dinghy racing to ocean racing ALL use handicap. It could be in several way for land sailing, here are just a few suggestions. By the number of years in the sport... i.e. newcomers get an advantage of some sort. Weight restrictions. Or by a numerical handicap system that gives a 'corrected time' which favours 'personal' improvement rather than just first over the line. this is what is used in 'wet' sailing so even small dinghys can race EQUALLY with catarmarans or much faster boats. If a handicap system like this was used then a fleet of 40 land yachts could be divided easily into categories like open frame, pilot experience, seating position or even color of the yacht..... the results are done by numbers after the finish. Its easy enough to do the calculations with a calculator but these days with PC's and spread sheets it would be a breeze. Ok there would still be a prize for 'Line Honours' but the most sought after prize is to win 'Handicap Honours' Another advantage with a handicap system is that multiple classes could be raced at the same time giving everyone a LOT more time sailing. Here is a brief explanation of how it works... http://www.somertonyc.com.au/handicap-calculation/ itunes.apple.com/au/app/sailing-handicap-calculator/id589988587?mt=8

Superior Sailing Pleasure

The X5 6 is a fifty-six-foot performance cruising yacht, designed with serious cruising in mind; it could be crossing the Atlantic, or exploring beautiful Mediterranean islands. The X5 6 joins the hugely successful and critically acclaimed Pure X Range and is now the largest yacht in the range.

The design philosophy was very clear from the outset - like all our luxury yachts, we place a huge emphasis on giving the owner a superb and comfortable sailing experience, on a yacht that is easy to handle by all the crew.

The first X5 6 were launched in November 2020 and we celebrated her world premiere in January 2021 in Haderslev, Denmark.

X-Yachts has developed an online web-configurator for each of the Pure X models, enabling you to design your own version of the sailing yacht. Configure your own dreams.

mini yacht 5.6

Light, strong and stiff

With the introduction of the X-65 in 2007, X-Yachts started to infuse hulls for performance yachts utilising epoxy resin. Epoxy infusion construction offers fantastic control over the laminate allowing it to be optimised to maximise strength and stiffness, whilst saving weight.

In the X5 6 all weight saved, is used to increase the yacht’s stability, enabling the crew to have a more relaxed time and to feel safer and more comfortable. The fact, that the hull is cured, baked at high temperatures for almost 24 hours, not only optimises the hull material properties, but also minimises the risk of the darker coloured hull surfaces to suddenly start posturing, losing the surface finish.

With over 10 years of experience building epoxy infused yachts, X-Yachts took the decision in 2018 to build all models using this technology, one of the only yacht builders to do so.

Interior craftmanship

Danish design and architecture is famous for its clean, timeless style. The X5 6 is a showcase of luxury interior design; the yacht has a great sense of light and space, whilst maintaining practicality and functionality, with a design that works out on the open seas as well as moored in a harbour.

The flush deck hatches and coachroof side windows allows a lot of light into the boat and offers great ventilation. Large hull windows offers fantastic views from the spacious saloon.

High quality materials

The X5 6 is offered in a range of finishes: Nordic Oak veneer is standard on all furniture, or optional teak can be chosen.

All veneers are hand-selected in Italy by our specialists, from one of the most exclusive suppliers for the marine market for high quality yachts.

When combined with the top-quality craftsmanship X-Yachts is famous for, this translates to affordable luxury. As with all models in the range, there are a large number of options for soft furnishings;

Interior craftmanship

The standard mast is an aluminium 3 spreader mast with discontinued rod rigging and racing turnbuckles. Option is a carbon mast, and a Furler Boom with carbon mandrel.

It could be argued that the sailplan for any yacht is one of its most important features. From the inception of the Pure X Range, flexibility has been key. X-Yachts took the best from our performance and cruising ranges, which is why you’ll find the X5 6 can be specced with a self-tacking jib for ease of handling when short handed and longitudinal genoa tracks to maximise sailing performance - the choice is yours.

The X5 6 has a large moulded bowsprit as standard allowing asymmetric spinnakers to be flown from the front and has space for a Code-0 furler in front of the main forestay, the innovative new shape of the bow allows both the furlers to be pushed further forward maximising the J measurement to improve upwind performance.

X-Yachts X 5.6 : Luxury meets performance - photos from the test of the new X 5.6

Jochen Rieker

X-Yachts X 5.6: Luxury meets performance - photos from the test of the new X 5.6

X-Yachts has really tidied up its model programme. At the lower end, which not so long ago started at 33 feet, it now starts at 40 feet. But the top end has also been streamlined. The previous flagship, the X 6.5, which was first launched in 2016, is being phased out this year to make way for a new, significantly smaller flagship: the X 5.6.

Like all models in the Pure X series, the 16.58 metre long and 4.90 metre wide yacht is a crossover; in the past, it would have been called a cruiser/racer. It can be highly customised according to the owner's wishes - from a more pleasure-oriented long-distance boat to a modern performance cruiser, which will undoubtedly also be seen on the starting line of some ocean classics such as the Rolex Fastnet or Middle Sea Race in the future.

The three available keel variants are just one indicator of the X 5.6's wide range: In the standard version, the Danish yacht is 2.90 metres deep, but she can also go as low as 2.50 metres or as high as 3.30 metres. At 18 tonnes, she displaces almost seven tonnes less than the equally new, albeit longer Swan 58 - with the same ballast weight. It therefore sails more stiffly and only needs the first reef later.

Together with our colleagues from the European Yacht of the Year jury, we were able to test her for four days off the Spanish port of Ginesta, south of Barcelona, in conditions of between 5 and 20 knots of wind, sometimes in smooth water, sometimes in confused seas. She proved to be very controllable, good-natured and suitably fast for a luxury cruiser of this calibre. More about her qualities soon in YACHT and on YACHT TV.

Here are the first impressions from the test. And for those who feel that "I absolutely have to have it" reflex: the fun starts at 1.15 million euros. Rough? Nope! In this league and quality, that's actually a fair starting price.

Yachting World cover

X56 first look: New model combines powerful hull with spacious accommodation

Yachting World

  • June 25, 2020

X-Yachts continues to flesh out its Pure X range, which already includes five models from 38-63ft, with the new X56

The ethos of this range, which appeals to those looking for a state-of-the-art performance cruiser , is now firmly established. “Around 80% of cruising is reaching or downwind, which is where these powerful hull shapes excel,” says X-Yachts founder and chief designer Niels Jeppesen. “A good cruising boat needs plenty of stability so that no one gets scared when the wind unexpectedly increases.”

The new X5 6 has maximum beam carried right aft and twin rudders. Advanced hull construction materials and techniques save weight, some of which is put back at the bottom of the keel, increasing both initial and ultimate stability.

“The hull shape also gives lots of space for accommodation,” adds Jeppesen. “That’s exactly what the market wants.”

Customer feedback is also being incorporated into the new designs. This includes an innovative tender handling option, with an electric swinging arm to lift a 3m RIB, complete with a 10hp outboard, into the tender garage.

There’s also an electric passarelle that stows neatly below the port side deck. A watertight bulkhead ahead of the tender garage is a reassuring feature for owners planning long-distance sailing .

The standard sail plan for the X5 6 includes a 100m 2 mainsail and 60m 2 self-tacking jib sheeted to a recessed track. Options include a larger 106% jib and an inner forestay for a furling heavy weather jib that, very neatly, sheets to the self-tacking car. 

The standard mainsheet is a German system taken to a single point on the cockpit floor, with options for a central pod with a winch, or a full-width recessed electrically powered traveller.

A choice of booms will allow the option of a conventional slab reefing mainsail, or in-boom reefing. Other options include a taller carbon rig, electric under-deck Code 0 furler, plus retractable bow and stern thrusters.

Below decks, eight different interior layouts are offered in three different styles and with three different veneer options, giving a total of 72 possible variations. 

The first X5 6 will be completed in November this year, with a public launch scheduled for the 2021 Düsseldorf boat show . A discount of €45,000 is offered on the first four boats. It will be followed 12 months later by a new X6 0 .

Specification

Hull length: 16.58m (54ft 5in) LWL: 14.94m (49ft 0in) Beam: 4.90m (16ft 1in) Draught (standard keel): 2.90m (9ft 6in) Displacement: 18,100kg (39,904lb) Price: €898,000 (ex. VAT)

  8. Need some help concerning the 5.6 MINI

    aus230. WA. 1659 posts. 22 Dec 2012 9:13AM. I think the 5.6 mini has been a great step forward for land sailing and common sense should prevail. It does away with all the restrictive rule's and replaces them with a little yacht that can be built well within the skills of a home builder.

  9. International Mini 5.6.........split

    My mini was built before the 5.6 was conceived, at very little cost , the only changes have been to move the mast post forward and add a bit of plywood to enclose the front at about $20 cost (made me feel a lot safer). The yacht is still completive even with a sail that I hand stitched.
