    Does anyone have a copy of the 1986 ABS Offshore Racing Yacht Guide? I know that there is a 1994 version but need to get hold of a copy of this one.

    Thanks.

    The earlier ABS OSRY rule was deficient for keel loadings and was significantly changed, the last one produced is apparently deficient for fore-deck loads and the lot is now discontinued. So beware what you are using it for.

    Fully aware of that thanks Mike. Alas I still need to get hold of a copy though so if anyone has one floating around gathering dust it would be great if it could be scanned or faxed.

    Only the 1994 version of the rule is available for download. I already have that. I need to see a copy of the 86 rule though.
