   I have just been alerted to the direction and some recent inference on this thread.

I am responsible for lots of things, but fortunately not the postings of the highly enthusiastic, wind-up merchant, Y&Y forumites! Heaven forbid!! I would like to assure you (Luca and all) that we (RS) have not orchestrated any anti D One campaign.

Luca mentioned Nick’s comment ref speed – I haven’t looked back but I’m pretty sure he said he thought the D One would be faster overall (because that is what he thinks - and people kept asking him) – so I’m a bit mystified if this has caused a bad reaction. I really don’t think Nick’s comments were unclear, but if they could have been misconstrued, then I apologise. 

I have gone on record before stating that we firmly believe there is plenty of space in the market for both the D One and the RS100 – after all the Finn and the Laser have both succeeded for years (perhaps that talks down the 100 a little – no round metal tubes – but you’ll get my drift).  

Luca – I will call you to talk about all this.

We put a lot of effort into growing this sport, developing the game and we aim to live happily within it alongside sailors from other classes and manufacturers of other brands. Anyone who knows us will know that is the case. 

Please be assured there is nothing underhand or negative coming from RS. We are very busy and very enthusiastic about building our own classes.
