UIM · Hull and handling

Hull extension, UIM

Rear extensions, bow appendages and planing surface extensions added to the hull. Pump cover plate extensions and trim tabs have their own rows.

This page is UIM only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under IHRA and IJSBA. Which one applies to you is decided by whoever sanctions the race you enter.


Below GP1 the only rearward addition UIM allows is the pump cover plate extension, which has its own row.

Where it stands, class by class

24 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules. 8 of them borrow another class’s rules and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook. 8 publish no rule for this part and name no parent to borrow one from, and are grouped together at the end.

What each answer below means

Not permitted, not listed in the rules
Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
No rule, this is an open class
Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.
No rule published for this class
Unanswerable here. This class publishes no rule for the part and names no parent class to borrow one from, which is an absence in the rulebook and not a permission.

Hull extension: if the rule your class applies reads differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask. We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it. Ask a rules question.
