Rich, looking at two of the founder members of the class (Jimbo and Grumpf) i would say........YES they will object, after all they are both like ladies of an advancing age.  Grumpf even has a blue rinse.

you could wrap the foredeck in carbon wrap for that pimped
look



nice idea- get yourself a knackered 300, whack on a Vortex kite kit then
simply vinyl the foredeck with faux carbon.... wee hey, cheap alternative to
the RS100 and would probably go quicker in the right hands!

It would be unsailable i would think mate! 



Ohh cr@p you know how I love a challenge don't you guys ... all I need is a cheep 300 ... gulp ... excuses runnong out now ... so then who has a 12m kite and do you think the 100 fleet will object if I show up

we spent all weekend sorting out the B14

a full progrip everything, including B14 logos in progrip,

a hull that is so fair and smooth that we haev no chance of standing on it in a cpasize

6 hours polishing work,

all the fitting staken off and redone,

i took all the rivets out of the racks and re did them all

new set of norths

we just need some more useless stuff, going to fit a stereo

we haev new ropes,

and our blonde bomshell rashies must be pimp

I find "cosmetic carbon" so amusing. A few years back, my current employer made black glass fibre for a customer during a carbon drought- all our carbon was going to customers who needed it for structural purposes. The customer still wanted the "carbon" look, and wanted more than could be achieved with a rubbish vinyl wrap.

On which- the RS100 foredeck would look better if RS were using something other than plain weave fabric for the visible skin. More complex weaves are more suited to shapes such as that- was looking at all the defects on the show models!

Jimbo, they are a nightmare to get hold of and although look great would be a nightmare fit on a 3, Doug is making me some with elastic tabs and bits this will hopefully stop the age old problem of missing the toe straps!  The ones on the boat at the moment are falling to bits!
