The International 5.5 Metre Class is a class of racing yachts initially designed under the rules of the International Yacht Racing Union (IYRU) that is now known as the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). Yachts of the Class are not identical but have to be strictly built according to the Class Rating Rules. We estimate that approximately 800 boats have been built around the World. The Class is divided in three divisions; Modern, Evolution and Classic.

Yachtsport history: The development of the 5.5mR construction class

All the major cities in northern Germany are on the programme, starting with Hamburg and Berlin this year, followed by Kiel and Lübeck next year.

Exciting development

The ongoing development of the 70-year-old design class is shown - when an international arena for sailing was to be created again after the Second World War, it was necessary to find a replacement for the 6-mR yachts. The comparatively high costs for new builds in this class were no longer in keeping with the times.

British designer and metre-class specialist Charles E. Nicholson quickly modified the International Rule for this project. The new boat was around half as light and therefore had half as much sail area.

The 5.5 made its Olympic debut at the 1952 Games in Helsinki. At the 1972 Olympics in Kiel, the 5.5 then suffered the same fate for similar reasons: It was replaced by the open keelboats Soling and Tempest.

Open to innovations

But the loss of its Olympic honours has not harmed the 5.5er. The dimensions of the 5.5s - the boats are around 9.50 metres long, weigh between 1.7 and 2 tonnes and have just under 30 square metres of sail area on the wind - make them as uncomplicated to sail as kites or lacustres. In contrast to most other open keelboats of their size, however, they are a true construction class. And with regulations that are very open to innovation.

In the seventies, the first boats moulded using the vacuum process appeared. GRP is authorised at the beginning of the eighties. Self-draining cockpits are designed early on, and keel and rudder moulds reflect the current state of yacht development. Today, carbon rigs are just as common as ingenious trim tabs behind the keel of modern boats with a split lateral plan.

More than 700 boats

The international class association currently counts more than 700 boats in over 30 countries. In Germany, the German "5.5m KV" was re-established at the end of the nineties. There are also numerous local fleets. The most recent was founded in Kiel in November 2013, where the first German boat was based in 1952. In terms of numbers, 5.5s are most strongly represented in Germany today, with most newbuilds traditionally being launched in Switzerland.

The fleet is divided into three age groups. Classic wooden long keelers are called "Classic"; the design years 1970 to 1993 form the group called "Evolution"; younger boats are called "Modern". Despite all the differences, the boats start and sail together, with special prizes being awarded for Evolution and Classic.

5.5 mR World Championship

The Royal Norwegian Yacht Club (KNS) invites the 5.5 metre Class to the Cup Series and World Championship at Hankø, Norway, June 27th to July 5th, 2022

The Royal Norwegian Yacht Club (KNS) is honoured to host The Scandinavian Gold Cup, The Royal Kaag Classic Cup, The Hankö Evolution Cup, and the 5.5 metre World Championship from June 27th to July 5th, 2022.

The event will take place at the island Hankø. All yachts will be moored at the Hankø Yacht Club.

Hankø has been the main venue for international regattas in Norway for the last hundred years. The sailing will take place just off the island in open waters, where the wind and sea conditions are quite predictable. When the sea breeze fills in from the south this is for sure one of the best racecourses Norway has to offer.

The classic among the sailing models

The classic among the sailing models

5mr yacht

These models were inspired by the Metre Class Yachts. Or the other way around.

The boats of the international ≫A Class≪ are considered the classics among model sailing boats. They almost look like small yachts and in form and proportions, they have striking similarities. However, this is no coincidence. Not only did the model sailors often use the lines of full-sized Metre Class yachts in the design and construction of their boats as an inspiration and example. The A-Class is, just like the Metre Class yachts, a development class and the formula according to which the boats are measured is not unlike the famous Metre Class formula. This ≫Mini-Metre Formula≪ was developed in the years 1922 and 1923 by the then chief editor of the English sailing magazine ≫Yachting Monthly≪, Major Malden Heckstall-Smith. His idea was as obvious as it was ingenious, especially in the times when racing yachts were still developed without the use of scale models in test tanks, which are so often used today: he wanted to give the designers a chance to avoid expensive mistakes when building new racing yachts. Where ideas could be first tested on a reduced size scale model, but still in an active regatta class. The class of the model yachts was a great success, but the hoped-for connection, as test boats for full-sized manned racing yachts, never took place.

5mr yacht

Heckstall-Smith’s formula was based on the ≫18-Footers≪ of the magazine, also known as the ≫Yachting Monthly Six Metre≪, on a scale of two inches to one foot. A very similar formula is still used today by the International 5.5mR class, although in a different dimension. The kinship to the metre yachts is, in any case, evident and can be explained from these roots. When the new model boat class later spread internationally, the name ≫A-Class≪ established itself. It is therefore all the more surprising that the professional yacht builders, with just a few exceptions, did not embrace it and stayed away from the A-Class. One quite famous 12mR sailor on the other hand, in his later years, did become president of the British association of model sailors. Sir William P. Burton, sailing friend of the legendary tea baron and many times America’s Cup challenger Sir Thomas Lipton, had built a number of 12s in the course of a long and active sailing career. His last and perhaps most beautiful, but in any case the largest and fastest 12 was Jenetta , designed by Alfred Mylne.

The A-Class certainly developed splendidly. Although initially still dominated by the English, the races became increasingly international, with strong competition coming mainly from Scandinavia and America. German sailors also tried in vain to be competitive, but they mostly remained unsuccessful. In 1972 though, the Pollahn brothers from Hamburg, at that time the cradle of German model sailing, as first German sailors won the coveted ≫Yachting Monthly Cup≪ at the European Championship with their boat Peter Pim . At the very beginning this trophy had been donated by Heckstall-Smith and his magazine to stimulate the regatta activities. The first non-British winner of the trophy was the Norwegian Sam O. Berge, who, like his countryman Johan Anker, had learnt his trade as a naval architect with Herreshoff in America. In 1935 he won the ≫Yachting Monthly≪ trophy in Fleetwood in England with a particularly elegant boat, a long-keeled yacht – a design that at the time was in fact already passe among the model sailors –, she actually looked like a scaled down 12mR yacht. This boat, the Prince Charming , was controlled by a self-developed wind control system that was common on these boats, before the new remote control system changed everything from the mid-1970s onward.

5mr yacht

Until then, the model boats simply sailed a straight course across the model sailing pond against their respective opponents using their self steering vanes. The windvane steering system only served to keep the optimal course to the wind. Tacking if executed at all was only done when the boats came close enough to the shore, where they were pushed through the wind by their sailors with long poles. If the shore was not accessible, one started and sailed with the models on the lake, using rowing boats. This changed when modern electronics arrived in the shape of handy remote controls that could also be used for model sailing. Now it was no longer only the highest possible straight line speed on a given course that counted, but suddenly also characteristics such as manoeuvrability were required, since the boats were now able to sail ≫real≪ regatta courses. For some years this has had an influence on the design of the boats themselves, but insiders of the model scene believe that for some time now the designs of the boats are becoming more and more alike. In addition to the ≫RC≪ (Radio Controlled) classes that are more common nowadays, ≫free sailing≪ without remote controls and instead as always with a wind vane is still being used. However, it seems to be becoming more and more difficult for the ≫free sailors≪ to find suitable waters for their races – as all the shores have to be accessible to them. However, whether it be remote-controlled or sailing freely: the A-Class boats are the largest and probably the most elegant of the model boat classes, even if modern A-Class boats are made of carbon fibre. With their length of 1.6 to nearly two metres, correspondingly high masts, a weight of 12 to 18 kilos and 30 centimetres draft, A-Class boats always offer an imposing spectacle. Especially when they are racing!

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

5mr yacht

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
