Where are all the RS300s?

   I'm not so sure Calum; u were always hot on my heels when we did a bit of laser training at largo a couple of summers back.
Although, to be fair, a laser is not a 300 - it may take you a season or so to get into it but i'm sure you'll be fast once over the initial wobbling that everyone gets in their first month or so in the boat. The first season is such a learning curve - it's a boat that rewards trying things & learning from the results. You can't help but become a better sailor sailng a 300...

	Jimbo, Looking at the association web site Ian Smith is selling a 200 and in the ad states he's after a 300. Also Chris Smith is looking for a 300. Why not have a wanted page on rs300.com?

	Those videos on RS300.com are really great and show that the boat can be sailed in challenging conditions. They certainly show how exciting the boat can be. Good demonstrations of technique as well

	Yeah thats right, I can easily add the details to the website if the owner decides they would like to sell. Should go quite quickly..... If the owner would like to send the details to me to add to the site just get him to mail the details to me online here: http://www.rs300.com/contact.htm Cheers James

	NickA - if you get the details and can forward them to either myself or Jimbo_rs300 we'll get the details circulated and someone will buy the boat. They're like rockinghorse droppings at the moment! Interestingly enough, today, I lent mine to one of the many people at my club chuntering about its handicap. He retired after forty minutes and nine downwind capsizes and conceded that the handicap was probably fair and it's a lot harder to sail quickly than he thought, before getting back in is ISO.
	Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.

	If anyone's still after an RS300 - there's one half hidden in a hedge at my club (following earlier posting, I tracked it down). As far as I know, it was sailed for a season, or maybe two, before the owner decided it wasn't a "nice stable little boat" after all (and bought an RS800, I think, instead). Whatever, if anyone's interested, I could probably find out who owns it and put them in touch.
