The RS100 Owners Thread

sneaky lunchtime sail

TT et al

It would be useful for all and I guess for RS if we could perhaps
concentrate tuning experience in one area. Either on the facebook group
or perhaps a separate thread here. The rig is different to that which many
of the owners will have sailed and getting the right settings is
'interesting' at this point in time.

Each setting should include wind strength, shroud pin position, mast ram,
outhaul, cunningham and mast sheet estimates.

After two outings I suspect that on this rig the outhaul probably has a
favoured setting and does not benefit from much adjustment.

With enough feedback we can then hopefully get a reasonably sound
Light/medium/heavy guide posted on the association website.

What do you think?

For a down haul I'd use a 376

... and find a suitable hook to pin in the fork head.

Downhaul outhaul try this:- found here:- http://www.sailboats.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=456150   edit    oops cross post ... caught me working you lot didn't you!! I put one of these on our 4K (nicked idea from TT). Unfortunately it lasted two outings before it splayed open and fell awft. That may be more to do with the amount of cunningham purchase on the 4k though??

It is not designed to take that sort of load ... it is designed for a Laser outhaul.

I wouldn't have thought any open hook is good for downhaul use no matter
what the boat. I ended up using carbine hook on my Topper because I kept
bending out open hooks.
