Maybe because JP Watersports is the sole Scottish distributor of RS dinghies?

RS is already prepared for post-September!

I guess the thought of getting 5 Scots to agree on something and also part money is too much of an ask... even for the super computers that power the RS marketing machine.  

Besides what bloody currency would it be anyway come September?  Oh yes, 'Salmond's Sterling Union'.... erm, no.... something Balls and Osbourne agree on there I'm afraid.  LOL

Actually a few new boats in Scotland over the years (not me now -tooooo mean) - but with a new  currency (the Scottish Groat, Celtic ha'penny, or the Shiny Pebble) who knows???

Scottish devolution on the RS Aero thread.... I guess it's better than discussing folks who couldn't get back in it after capsizing  LOL

I know several folks who from up Norf who have bought new boats from RS direct over the years. Several 200's for example. Theres nothing quite like the road trip down to RS to collect yourself. Anyway just seemed a little odd to me but I agree its a very small market anyway.

Is that upwind in a downwind kind of way? It does look good fun on a reach, but I can't believe the lack of photos, videos and commentary from potential punters. Have they all been struck dumb, or has no one tried it yet?

I simply assumed irony, given the lack of upwind video.
