Hi All -

My RS100 is for sale on the RS100 site and with Rodney Cobb (suntouched sailboats). I have decided to go back to Finn sailing, as the numbers for the 100 are low in Scotland and I'd like to travel to some events.
It's been a blast though and it's a great boat to sail.
 
The boat's in great condition and has all the bits (inc unused 10.2 sail). I can deliver down to the south when I pick up the Finn or meet part way. I'm based near Glasgow.

I had assumed the sail was available now but didn't notice the out of stock point.
As I find the 8.4 pretty powerful for my 65kgs I thought the small sail
May be good for heavy weather. bit what the big 10.2 guys are doing with
The 8.4. Just wondering if it's planning to have a different py? Don't want different kite with it!!!!!

What is the situation with this rig? Is it now available to buy, i see it is on the ldc website for sale but out of stock.  I personally do not want one, i think its a bit of an ugly rig on such a modern looking boat, but thats personal taste and mainly due to me not needing one myself! I heard something about a different kite on it too, did this ever go any further?

On a different note, what events are planned for next year, or is that too far off at the moment..? I would be keen to know asap what events are planned so i can budget and combine them with the 2 keelboat campaigns I am doing this summer!

I apologise in advance for bringing up the dreaded topic of handicaps
Again as I know it's not a very popular topic but I'm going to anyWay.
My question is regarding if theres been any thoughts or discussions
On what the py for the smallest 7m2 sail may be. Not sure if numbers have
Already been discussed in thread but I'm not aware of seeing it.
Cheers,
Keith.....

One is headed to Point Yacht Club in Durban - not sure about the other one. If you're down that way the owner of the boat in Durban is happy for interested people to try his boat.

Another milestone - just loaded the first two RS100s headed to the continent of Africa - South Africa to be precise. They'll be sailing by Christmas which sounds pretty appealing doesn't it as the temperature dives here?
Mind you, they'll probably have to dodge the sharks - better send a coaching DVD too
