Given how spread out the boats are, I can't see how it would be possible to make much of a guess about how many boats "ought" to be at a worlds - too many variables.

Do you know what Jim I agree with you. So I apologise if I am out of order, perhaps I have allowed myself to be led up a path whilst bored watching the kids play in the pool. So again apologies if I am out of order. Nick I don't mean to call you a liar. You don't need to prove yourself to me or anyone else for that matter. So whilst I stand by my of my comments it would appear thu have been taken out of some context.

Ruscoe - time to cool off mate. There were several posts from other people which referenced sail numbers and sales and so on. Nick was good enough to provide current data to satisfy those questions even though it could be considered commercially sensitive. In a thread devoted to the RS100 its also 100% on topic.
Your posts may not have been intended to be hostile and aggressive, but boy it comes over like that. Perhaps you need to reconsider. Edited by JimC - 06 Jun 13 at 12:07pm |

Also just out of interest do Menorca boats not get an Isaf plaque and sail number? And that's not a loaded statement it's a genuine question

Nick,
I coul just spout a load of figures like you that mean absolutely nothing. But I won't for two reasons. Number 1 I don't work for Devoti so have no idea how many d1's have been sold, our sail numbers don't run consecutively. Secondly I don't even work for Suntouched so have no idea how many boats have been sold in the uk. I can only comment in those which I have helped to sell here in the uk! I am also not interested in a mine is bigger than yours competition. It's obvious from the uk that more 100's have sold. But then ford have sold more fiestas than VW have a sold polos? What's your point? |

I don't think comparison with the Laser is really sensible as the class it is so numerous and much longer in the tooth ... For a young class where the owners are typically motivated having just brought a new expensive design of racing dinghy I'd expect a high % turn out ... Perhaps look at a similar class at a similar stage of development ... The first Musto Skiff Worlds was 2007; they got 86 boats. According to this page there were probably about 250 boats built at that point (I believe their sail numbers started at 50 like the 49er) So that is about 35% attendance rate. I would expect similar for the RS100; so if their are 400 boats out there they should easily get 100 and as such be able to support an International Jury. |
