So wonderful not only did you order the boat on the spot, but you set up a
blog, signed up to the Y&Y forum, posted your first ever post trying to
polarise an early prototype with a production boat... all from one quick sail
at Burghfield? My god, with the exchange rate collapsing on foreign
imports too and the questionable looks thrown into any buying decision, it
must be one hell of a nice boat to sail.

There's no need to be like that James.

This is based on my own opinion.

There is always going to be differing opinions on this subject and if you read my posts you will see that I am not interested in comparing the two specifically.

I sailed it, I liked it, that's it.

Come on James give the guy a break ... he's tried both and he's put his money where his mouth is.

Granted the RS100 will no doubt not have exactly the same rig when it appears in production but the difference will not be as great as there is between the 2 boats anyway.

I have always advocated that people should test sail; most test sails are short as a long term evaluation in a range of conditions will never be pratical but it is better than nothing.

How many have discounted the D1 without a test sail; most I suggest which is not really an informed way to do so ...

An opinion you don't mind sharing though..

And the address of the distributor

And the dealer

Sorry chum you don't get off that lightly..

I live in internet pimp world and trust me, at the end of the day
honesty is the best policy, ....

Just admit your trade connection and be done with it.

No one goes

"Oh I've bought a new boat I must just set up this blog.."

Not without financial reward they don't..

Now I may be totally wrong here

And if I am I'll be the first to prostrate myself before you in abject
apology.. but right now - I smell pimp.

Can't say I am too impressed with the"lively" critism, a more balanced approach might be a better way of posting without resorting to name calling, I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions though.

Tim: GRF is (for once) right- you do come across as an "astroturfing"* plant or even a creation born of a marketing department.


*Astroturfing: creating fake "grassroot" support by creating blogs, posting positive reviews etc through shill accounts. I think it's now illeagal in this country for marketers/publishers/distributors to post fake positive reviews on online stores.

agreed, but seriously guys you have got that completely wrong.

I will curb my enthusiasm, although I don't see why I should.

Tim, if you just tell people who you are and declare and connections, if any, with the product then I feel you should feel free to share the excitement you have about your new toy ... seems some here are determined to dampen your joy.
