Being as I am the only 'handsome' member of the D-one fleet, I hues you are talking about me jimbo. Alas I wouldn't of even been the wide wing champ at Weymouth. Sailed like a prat in lightish conditions, I only ever performed when it was dogs off chains unfortunately.

Lovely option to be able to be a wide wing lad and after six months of lunch from Greggs, become an inner setting handsome portly lad and still competitive in the same boat!

ah, but to keep this in 'RS100 speak', that was the Wide Wing National Champ I bet the Narrow Wing National Champ was a handsome, portly lad.

Clive if you had the choc bar sponsorship you would all end up using the 10.2 rig or even have to move up to the D-one or Phantom

think of the silver lining Clive.... the class has worked hard to get rid of that fat boy 10.2 sail, and it's always been a meeting place for ex-Laser hiking bunnies and fitness nuts who revel in 4 back to back races. You can't very well get the sponsor chucking out free chocolate bars and you lot all getting fat and slow... it just wouldn't do. The next thing they'll suggest is joining the rest of the RS crowd at a party and getting peeved up... no thank you, not when there's a nice quiet restaurant to nurse a shandy.

Yup, trucking along nicely thanks Outnumbered 200s at the Starcross Steamer fr'instance. Okay, 3 over 2 but the point remains. POSH next. We now have 3 at Frensham, with another buyer in the wings (James says it does not work on restricted waters, but it does, i make it so so every week, far more fun than at HISC) Nationals are one a year events - those club race stats are an interesting measure. So if you are in one of the club hotspots like Parkstone, Starcross or Gurnard seriously happy days. And now 2nd hand boats at achievable prices are coming onto the market, the time is ripe for a second wave of blood to the class - its as friendly and fun as ever. My only regret is we are not so obviously set-up for choc-bar sponsorship as the Aero

Is the 100 dead, or has it just settled down and trucking along nicely in the niche it carved for itself?
1,652 returns according the 2014 PY list, that's 230 more races recorded than the Musto Skiff, and over 1,400 more than the 'obvious competitor'. This forum has often gauged popularity by nationals attendance. Maybe the PY returns would be a better metric - especially for club racing. I think the 100 has proved what it can and very clearly what it can't do, and whilst I accept that early proponents may have been utterly deluded that it would be a good club racer (across locations), and imho, the multiple rigs has caused far more confusion than benefit, it does seem to be holding its own - the 8.4 anyway.
