The RS100 Owners Thread

   Yeh the musto is an ex world champ and 200's love beating. The 200's can hold their tiny kites much tighter than myself in decent breeze. Maybe it was the fact I was playing dodgems and had guff starts both times. Things can only get better. Boat of the day for me was the stratos. Ploughed it's way round the course with great pace! Unusual sight....

	keith I did enjoy watching the laser mating with you!! As for the p course well the musto and 200's seemed to cope ok. The wind died enough to allow them to kite most of the reaches. The breeze at the start of racing meant it would of been very tricky and would allow the traditional boats a bit more of a chance but thats handicap racing ! Still i did overrule our sailing secetary and rear commodore sailing who wanted an even shorter course.

	in contrast i had an absolute hoot today; perfect beats with the tide and then honking back down the harbour against all with 10-15kts. only problem was a lack of competition, it ended up being a straight dogfight between me and a (slightly out of practice) D-one. it continued to prove the standard "d-one quicker upwind, 100 quicker downwind" pattern and the downwind bias meant that i was a decent chunk clear by the end. would love to have seen how well it would have gone with some merlins and f15s thrown into the mix. tomorrow is going to be similar but without the helpful tide and a whole pile of merlins and f15s thrown in for fun.

	Ok got humped! 1st race ended up getting involved in Pre start antics with a laser and pico and the boats all started breeding. Eventually got away behind everyone and battled gusty winds against the tide. Downwind leg very biased and over shot the mark and almost ended up at Norway! Second race pretty miserable start again and a p course that meant little chance for kite downhill. Did a little better but still not great. Nevermind in was good fun anyway. There's always the next race.

	Geeting excited. First race of the season and defending my trophy from last year. Only difference I have to do it with 998 instead of 1014. Going to be fun. Only saving grace is Mustos have also been cut by 15........ Wind looks ace at 16mph. Like a kid with a new toy!!!!!

	After sailing at Datchet for the first time in the 100, I'd say, you'll be fine. I'd make sure you get it all rigged right, I was so desperate to try teh boat out, I didn't realise they missed a block out on the mainsheet system till I had done a downwind kite leg. Really want another go after watching the video again....
