The RS100 Owners Thread

[/QUOTE]

I sailed there until I went away to be a student (mid 90s) and came back Winter 2008 with my vortex.

one of the early deals on these but i found out we have a pre-order on
one of those other things that comes on a 9 month delivery (due late
september fingers crossed) and proceeds to take all your money (bit like
an RS100 really). [/QUOTE]

According to the papers yesterday the whole life cost (well the whole life
while at home live cost) of one of these is £200k. And the return on
investment is shocking from a financial pov, so it's just as well that there
are other benefits.

I've now got two at uni and one doing here GCSEs , which is why I bottled
out of ordering an RS100 at the boat show!

I wouldn't be without them, but some times I do wish they weren't so
bloody expensive to keep!

be greatly appreciated.Besides the vortex and I have lots of unfinished

Hey, congratulations Simon and Jo (? apologies but my memory for names
is not great !) that is great news. My advice - make the most of the next
few months before the fun really starts ! Amazing what a great torture
sleep deprivation is ! But wouldn't have missed it for anything.

Actually they don't start to get REALLY expensive to about 8 years old
when they discover electronic games and stuff (makes an RS100 seem low
cost by comparison - mine will be wanting cars in the next couple of
years !) You will probably be Ok till then provided you are allowed to
sneak off !

All the best,

Chris
