Maybe he just showed that getting too involved with the difference between the two rigs is missing the point?
I think everyone in our club would have welcomed a +20% sail area option on Sunday, particularly the race team waiting for us to struggle over the tide.

I think it's an 'in-joke' kinda thing Charlie... I'm just not sure who will be having the last laugh.

Huw won the event with a day to spare sailing using an 8.4 rig. He subsequently used the spare day to record the only 10.2 rig results of the event thereby making him the 10.2 Champ. Having a bit of a laugh (I'm guessing) rather than adding to the confusion.

As a follow on to that, if you can win without flying the kite why bother with one at all !!

Anyone else read the Europeans final report? Now that really confuses me about the two rigs! How can someone be joint European champion in both rigs?? :s

It also attracts sailors of two person asymmetrics whose crews have moved on.

I wouldn't argue with that logic... and yes, it does seem to suit (ex)Laser sailors looking for something a little extra.
That much was evident from the first events when the hikefest was unveiled. Edited by yellowwelly - 31 May 13 at 5:05pm |

Well the fleet drifting towards one rig as a preference may not be a bad thing. It will certainly be less confusing for people looking to join the class. I guess the majority of new RS100 sailors will come from the Laser fleet and their average weight would suit the 8.4 rig better. The members of my club who have expressed an interest in the 100 are all Laser sailors.

nope, just chipping in for a new model with less miles on the clock.... it must be a windsurfing influence. Anyway, this thread is currently for the RS100 owners to bury their head in the sand about the demise of the 10.2 fleet, not to discuss internet handles.

so is the pondmonkey dead or just resting, James?
Or is the regular ID change so you can tell Mrs B that you don't spend that much time on here, 'look I've only made a couple of posts...'
