The RS900 - 'our' fantasy dinghy!

All new idea:

A pivoting bowsprit you can use a carbon gennaker pole to have a large assymetric but when fully extended the pole can pivot from the bow controlled by the gennaker sheets.

This allows for a larger and more controlable assymetric that can sail directly downwind.

Attach this to a 800 like rig with carbon spars, square top main, large jib, vertical raise rudder, 2 or three trapeze and a narrow hull with wide wings and you get a rellitivley simple (!) skiff that could outrun a tornado downwind!

P.S I want a patent on the pivoting genny pole that ould transform skiff sailing.

Kind of like the Alto but witha more efficent joint that can't get the sail caught in it and can move further to each side with a vertical control to allow you to change the height of the sail.

For the 100 i think a laser/topaz rival would be good:

1 - 2 person choice of main from like 5-7-10m

2 jib options

genny option.

with RS build quality could rival other boats of similar design

800:with changing the height you can vary planing, bigger waves raise the pole lift the bows flat water lower pole catch more wind!

100: why not have a new hull thats better for adults?

certainly larger people slow down the feva, better shape and bigger boat

I'll have to look that one up, I'm looking for a new boat at the moment!
