New Single-Hander for 2012

Dead right I'm cynical!  I actually think that this is either mr rooster himself or a minion trying to sound us out about what we want from the rpx which could be due for launch next year, sensibly cashing in on the hype surrounding sailing in the olympics.  The knowledge shown in this thread and in the laser thread does not tie in with someone who cannot choose himself a single hander.  The comment about streakers - hugely pimped and promoted by.......rooster, who are also making sails for boats sailed by large middle aged men, seals the deal in my cynical eyes.

There's nothing wrong with market research - I seem to remember rs doing this very effectively with the rs100, but at least be upfront about it!

There's a lot of Other single handers that havent been mentioned - why not?
K1, D1, MPS, Rs600, Rs700, vortex......

Originally posted by SimonW99 Rupert I never said the MKII 'Nova was faster or slower than a Mark I, but some people didn't like the look of the MK!. The MKII is fully self draining and stiffer so in waves it does have advantage over a MKI on the sea. As to the other comments, we have two epoxy streakers, a lightning, a solo, supernova and three rs100's and 4 blazes in the fleet, all of which I sail against regularly and most of which I have sailed or owned, so reasonable to have a view on relative speed. The only one we don't have has a Solution and I doubt anyone would violently disagree that they have little traction which was my only comment on it. Check your facts before you start pronouncing on others. Perhaps you could inform us as to which you have sailed........

Sailed or owned all in your list but the 100 and the Solution. Enjoyed sailing them, too.

In which case you should know that the comments are accurate
