on another note, I noticed on SA (in the Zero thread), that someone said there was going to a change of focus away from three separate classes into one class with 'reefing options' for the RS Aero.
I'm assuming that is just BS / the 'UJ end of the tiller extension' talk? Anyone know anything about that?

It was posted by him on the aero Facebook page, so already in the public domain. With the expectation that it will level out in the 1020/1030 range. Edited by ex laser - 11 Mar 15 at 12:37pm |

I bet he'll be pleased to see that in the public domain - sub 1000 boats cause issues at certain ponds around here. In that they are simply not allowed on the water without some careful negotiation with the committee....  FWIW- before this post is tagged 'FUD'... I doubt it will level out at that, 1015 at harshest imho. 1030-1040 seems more realistic.

Think they will get en in about three months when more data comes in. The very very limited returns they had for the 9 rated it at 999 according to Mr Barton. Think the sailracer returns rate it very close to the zero. Edited by ex laser - 11 Mar 15 at 12:30pm |

None of the Aero classes have an EN yet. Given the 'on the water' experience over the winter though it does seem that the 9 and the D-Zero are pretty comparible in most conditions. Until the wind gets up of course and most of the 9 rigs suddenly disappear.....
 but we have had that discussion elsewhere already. |

well if we're getting confessional... it get's worse. They'll be on eBay this evening, replaced next year with something different, assuming we go. No point them sitting in the garage all summer is there? (And to satisfy Holman's curiosity - yes he does read this thread - I have worked out that buying higher end kit new at the end of the season from an EU webshop with its 50% discount sale, using it the following year and then flogging it on eBay upon my return, does actually cost less than renting rather average kit in resort, that in all likelihood has been trashed by some drunken Russian muppet or worse, a French ski-dork experimenting with the dark side on one plank).

Did you stay away from the pies though?
I also think Simon is correct about the handicap. I know the py committee gets bad press sometimes but I think they did the correct thing in not giving a experimental py on the limited info for the 9. Don't think the aero 9 owners would have liked it

You used two boards for different conditions.
 I just have no idea how you can live with yourself. I hope you declared it to all others on the same run or their egos will have been damaged. Perhaps they all just sneered at you when you went past them.. Its as bad as a women talking about the gold standard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS37SNYjg8w
