The RS100 Owners Thread

Well I got it, pleased to hear all the mods I asked for have been done.
Lovely day for a park on the M25 both ways and even managed to get it
back without being sideswiped by some Eastern European truck driver.

It looks The Don, I can't wait for tomorrow. Martin showed me how some
of the stuff works and how to take it apart.

I love the little extra bits like the shock cord on the end of the pole so
when it retracts it pulls in the spinnaker sheets. The kicker works exactly
the way a kicker should, not like the cack handed other Gnav things I've
messed with recently.

Adjustable footstraps, love it and can move it further outboard, love that.

You can see the Pride all those guys down there have in what they've
produced, it's a really tight team, making good stuff, the atmosphere,
you can tell just walking in there, it's a vibrant place and they all listen to
each other.

OK it was sunny and it was Friday and there were two other boats being
sorted, mine was finished when I got there other than a few of the bits of
string that 'hold it together' being adjusted by Nick, so other than
chucking some sand on the varnish of the other two boats, there was not
much for me to do but listen to how it all goes together have a spot of
lunch then leave.

I think there will be two at Rutland by the autumn

Just collected GBR129 from Chandlers Ford when GRF came roaring in to
collect his baby.

The guys in the workshop were still working hard changing all the string
to soft pink and sticking the pink furry comfort cushions on the
gunwhales.

Not long until he will be updating us all!

Massive wind (not) for this weekend, so he won't need that Feva main


Quick point for Chris and anyone else getting chafe on the centreboard
downhaul. Loosen the centre mount point of the footstraps ( they arrive
velcroed tight) give the straps a good pull vertical. Then the shockcord
keeps the angle higher and away from the turret metal.

oh oh. not a good start......

Nah, that's just normal for a man his age, poor bladder control.
