V Twin

There's a long track history in the B14 of "fishnets" working really poorly, mainly because the leeward tiller extension gets caught in them. As for the "pelmets", class rules forbid any holes that you can stick your foot through in the area bound by the wing. Blaze has smaller wings and single tiller- what works for it might be a dangerously bad idea for the v-twin

'The Rs100 would wipe the floor with the twin, right up until the wind hits 6-8 knots, then it will be game over.' Really???

Yes, I've been eyeing the RS 800 rig, or thinking about a 49er rig, but then I'd be right back where I was, I can handle pretty much any of these boats, MPS, RS100, whatever in wind up to 8 knots, then I can't, the twin is/was supposed to enable that for me.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

The man who tries and tries again in an arena where the outcome is inevitable and has been know prior to the event is just a fool. The fool who then tells everyone else that they are wrong throughout the endeavour whilst continuing to fail is generally not received as a hero or valiant.
