The RS100 Owners Thread

No, that's quite right... although the MPS numbers are probably artificially low, as I understand they've pretty much grouped up into regional fleet centres like Datchet and Stokes Bay, so are primarily class racing.  It's the best thing for that specific class, as frankly sailing with others in the same boat massively reduces the learning curve in my experience.  Same must apply for moths too I guess.

Unless I'm missing something the number of races listed looks quite healthy. More than MPS and a lot more than d1. Am I missing something here?

RS100 owners may wish to look at the numbers of races in the new PY table which gives a good indication of the relative activity of different classes.

Back in stock now! I would use the stuff we sell it is really good if you do it right, just make sure the glue is properly touch dry before you put the two sides together: my understanding is that it uses an activator rather than a catalyst so the proportions are not critical, but the activator makes the solvents that keep the glue liquid evaporate, and if you put the two sides together before they have all gone they get trapped and can't escape so it never dries. I use a paper vending cup 1/3 to 1/2 full of glue and a cap or a cap and a half of activator. Keep the rest, it has a shelf life but should last a season or so.

Thixofix has worked fine for me.  Key is in preperation, be obsessive about getting the old stuff off, the surface is clean and ready and making sure the gasket is cut right, you want it to go right first time, not be peeling it up and re-applying a few times, IMO, to get the right 'finish'.
