These yachts have strict limitations on the rig design but have very few restrictions on hull shape other than the minimum weight (4.0kg) and the maximum hull length of one metre. In the 1 Metre class you will see many different hull shapes. These yachts are sailed to the same rule all over the world with world championships held annually.
One such World Championship was held in Wellington in 1997, with a fleet of 60 yachts Competitive second hand 1 Metre yachts typically change hands for between $NZ500 and $NZ3000 for the leading edge international versions.
Building your own yacht from scratch is encouraged within the rules and some boats have been built for quite minimal cost by those with the skill and patience to do so.
