I've heard rumours of hydrofoils on RS600 - sounds awesome (awesome speed, awesome difficulty staying upright!)
 


The foiling 600 has been in development by Linton Jenkins of Fullforce for some time and I think It must be getting fairly close to release by now ( I did have a target launch date but dont remember off hand)
However RS has played very little part in its development as far as im aware and I dont hink its enough of a secret to be this...

Theres been a couple of threads about it on here... do a search if your interested.

Sounds like Chew should clarify whether he's 'in the trade' on his signature, or whether his source is jungle drums!

ooooo. An exciting new development, right folks lets get guessing, there will be a prize for the closest and most ridiculous suggestion (this statemnt is not legally binding ).

 

Is it that RS have done a secret deal to produce the two new supercarriers for the navy?

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!
