That 7.4 sail looks horrific to me. IMO the D1 small sail looks modern, fresh and like a proper rig, rather than one where someone has used a pair of scissors to remove the roach...

Question: is the RS100 one class, or three?

Looks great to me and I think it is going to be a great addition for the class helping lighter guys, ladies and youths to join in - the boat is so light, easily driven and easy to handle that there is no reason why it should not be fully accessible to everyone.

I used my 8.4 for the very first time this weekend. Was expecting a big breeze which didn't happen but as I had rigged for the 8.4 decided to go with it anyway in 10 to 15 knot conditions - have come to some very interesting conclusions - whilst it feels 'different' to the 10.2 (lighter, more nimble, easier for tacking and definately easier for gybing, you can get away with dragging the boom) overall in those conditions I would say for me it was equally as quick - certainly no significant difference around a RTC course other than it was easier. Whilst the 10.2 has a more reassuring (for a heavy weight) 'grunt' and feels more solid / less 'lively' I don't think it is any quicker in those marginal conditions.

I would be up for the smaller sail for really breezy days !

Cheers

Think I could make use of that when it's breezy, depends on the course of course.

It may look a little aggresive, but we like it:

I would imagine that the comparison was to the Laser, Finn and OK, all big in Denmark.

Faster and more efficient upwind and tight reaching than any other single handed dinghy?

er ....  sorry only one  responce possible - just bring it on !  And I'm not just saying this on behalf of just Blaze and Halo's .... obviously I would ....but it would be a rather crowded room with others challenging  this claim surely.
