The RS100 Owners Thread

In the 600 the class rules allow for one change of wing size durign a year - is there such a rig rule in the 100's?

Grahame, I got my boat before you and made the 1 rig decision back then purely on my weight.
As you sound a similar weight to me I'm amazed you bought the big sail with the boat. I see no point in it For someone under 70kgs.
Anyway I hope you stick with it and learn to appreciate the boat as an 8.4 rig.
Cheers,
Keith

That would be because we're all over 90kg... (and, apart from the relatively hobbit-sized nick, all over 6ft)

Well I reckon the lead f15 will have got me in the end but apart from that it was pretty damned good last night. The asy vortex got away a bit but then so it should in 15kts and a bit of chop upwind. Again the 100 trucked past the 400 downwind but I reckon I needed to foot off more on the first beat when it was strong wind against tide.

Do they not have tides in Hythe? 5kts would be unsailable at HISC.

well I am still a one rig guy

Well Grahame,
We had our first Wednesday of the summer last night and it was around about 6 to 8 knots of wind. For me I felt it was perfect conditions for me with a nice big downwind leg. Upwind the 8.4 was lovely. Believe it or not I felt at about max power and just on the border of having to calm it down a little!!
Anyway managed to beat the 200's on my new handicap which was my main target. Ian in the mps was off in the distance on his own. For me that was probably the ideal competitive conditions for me. Any windier and I start to struggle competitively up hill.
See results below;
