What about rather than having the bow a flatish curve, have it more like a Fireball?

And add a lot more freeboard!

Not seen any pics on the web, but I have seen a vid of it in action and it looks awesome, if a little out of control.
The planned release date was april I beleive so unless theyve been set back too far Im sure you'll see more soon...


I emailed them a little while a go about this and got no response unforunately i wonder how much mods will need to be done to the boat? and also how much it will cost

A 14 rig on an RS800 would be fun too



I can't imagine the 300 rig on a laser being any more fun than it is on a 300... and I also can't see the 14 rig on an 800 being any more fun than it is on a 14!

worth a bash though!

True on both counts, more for interest than performance. I've always wanted to see what a laser would be like with a modern rig with some gust response.

The RS800 has a really distinctive smooth feel which is nice and very different to my 14. I always wondered what it would be like with more sail...

Oh, and some kind of portable waterproof/pitchpole proof stereo fitted to any high performance boat.

Think you might be on to something there, had a mate at a sailing school construct a water proof casing for a stereo system to go under the mast support bars on a Boss. Never actually found out if it worked but how much effort would it take to water-proof one of these i-pod and portable speaker thingys??????



Ipod with an itrip on it inside an aquapack (or plastic bag- same thing anyway), taped to somewhere out of the way on the boat, then a shower radio on full volume, again - taped somewhere out of the way. problem solved
