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

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? |

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... |

There's a for sale section on the main RS web site, so to put it on the 300 site would duplicate the effort. Maybe a link would be more appropriate?

Whats the maximum weight you could be competetive in one of these mean machines.I currently sail a contender and am a bit heavy for that at 6ft5in and 17stone.would love a finn but a bit on the expensive side to be competetive and a phantom doesnt really appeal.Dont get me wrong I love the contender but its a bit frustrating when sailing in less than 8-10 knots as I end up getting caught by the slow fleet!!!!it great when its breezy but its a bit all or nothing.

I'll put a link to the Association wanted page. RE weight as the Fizzicist said:
There are some good stats regarding weight etc on the RS300.com surveys section, I think you'd be surprised as to the versatility of the boat. Theres a great spread of both weights and ages. My dad and I both sail 300s and although hes a good 25 kgs heavier than me we are always swapping places. At the nationals we finished 1 place and 1 point apart. However what is perhaps even more astonishing is that a guy sailing an A-Rig and half his weight (yes half!) finished straight behind him, by 1 point. Speaks alot for the boat, especially given how breezy it was......

Yeah I second that me and Greg have a wait difference of 20kg and finished 5/6th at the inlands and both on the same points. Just shows how the boat can be sailed by such a varied weight range. |
