One's a lot smaller and clearly much slower, therefore worthy of splitting the 9 boat fleet over....

Can't you tell which one from the photo???

Look at the clew area of the sail, they have black or white swooshes. Hard to differentiate

I think if a 7.4 turned up at a winter hcap it should be given its own hcap it's a different class a la laser 4.7 (it just hasn't had enough returns yet, bit like D1 and Icon etc etc ). It's got nothing to so with cut down sails.

Interesting point Russ. Personally I'd be OK with someone using the 7.4 rig as long as they didn't get a fiddled handicap allowance. I'm around 10.5 stones. If I bought a Finn and used a cut down sail when it's windy no-one would give me a handicap allowance. They'd quite rightly say "more fool you for buying a boat you're far too light for".

It is not included in the current approved rules so you officially cannot race it at a RS class run event. The rules currently say the RS100 can be sailed with a 8.4 or 10.2 sq m sail..


So you can buy an RS100 that is not permitted to race at an open, seriously?

If you follow the letter of the rules that is the case. Now I would hope that RS would tell you this when you buy it.


I'm very surprised by that. 7.4 for messing about only then ....

Lol James, you don't relise how significant that photo is! That's the event where all this "insert any word you want" started from!
So I don't look like a total muppet, I'm 131 wanted to go right so had to q up. But guess what, everyone went left and I had a 200 yard lead at the top ;)

Sorry, I wasn't clear... I meant 7.4 rig sailors experience / thought of why they got the 7.4 in the first place.

ESSC is also running off 1025. Seems to work for now.

Gurnard run their 7.whatsit off 1025 PN... might be worth hooking up with Mark Harrison on the class forum for more specific details.  Thumbs Up
