 Topic: Where are all the RS300s?Posted: 03 Oct 05 at 8:13pm |

After the success of a popular 2005 Open Circuit and a bumper Nationals turnout (29 boats) it seems as if demand is significantly outstripping supply for the RS300. None have been seen in the Classifieds of Y&Y and other Dinghy Marts for a few months now. LDC have been building new batches, however these have very quickly sold leaving a complete void of secondhand boats. Does anyone know of an RS300 at their club which is under-used etc. as the owner may not be aware that they can get a good price for their 300 given current market conditions. The RS association and RS300.com are both recieving enquiries from people interested in buying 300s who simply cannot find one. ------------------------------------------------------------ - James Edited by Mark Jardine |

As a mothie I have some problems with the tag 'The ultimate hiking
singlehander' plastered all over the website but the stats speak for
themselves... the class is obviously flourishing and good luck to it.

Hmm...the links should work, they bring up the sites when I click on them.... There was a 300 listed in BoatsandOutboards.co.uk about a week ago, but it sold within a few days. The guy said he was inundated with enquiries..... James 333 |

Yes, they are very hard to get hold of. I was interested for a while but gave up. Bought myself a 5o5 last week. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I will never go slow again. :-) |

Although it does say one-design as well. I recently wrote a piece for our club newsletter inviting all to have a go in a Contender with the Tag-line 'The Ultimate Singlehander' (which the Contender association has used for years) and managed to really upset the local Canoe sailor which I find hysterical. |

So what happened here then? No RS 300s at my club and the only one ever bought by a club member sat unused and unloved in the boat park for at least a couple of years with a "for sale" tag on the notice board. Gone now ....... ...likewise an EPS that had gone green and slimy ... are they coming back too???!!! |
