Aftermarket hull trim tabs, UIM

Only the GP1 classes have a trim tab article at all.


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.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
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.

Not permitted, not listed in the rules 1 class

Only nozzle-trim systems.

Legal, with conditions 5 classes

Permitted. May not exceed the width of the planing surface or extend more than 100 mm rearward beyond the transom. All edges radiused. No fins, rudders or skegs.


Aftermarket hull trim tabs: 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.
