Ah but it doesn't appear to line up with anything - really intrigued now ! Is this the first RS100 'Pimp -My-Ride" and a sign of things to come !? |

Lovely looking boat James. I think the sails look fantastic! I wonder if the 2 tone kite colour scheme is going to be a standard feature? Is that a death roll I see in one of the photos? Cheers, Keith |

Looks like you had an awesome sail! The sails actually look very similar in size, I am wondering if I would be able to cope just as well with either one now... but then I am 16kg lighter than you and you seem to be taking off in a couple of the photos. How windy was it in the gusts there? |

James. Getting overpowered with the main downwind is a different
issue. In a nudging 4 upwind did you find you could depower sufficiently - oh and what is your starting weight ? |

Ok if that is a 3-4 then I think the small rig will be enough to begin with! Because the boat is slower than the 700 the kite will have a lot more shape which hopefully will be good in the light stuff. Seems to be very deep in that sort of wind though. I really hope the 100 is going to be as easy to learn to sail as I imagine! The first time I sail will be the nationals so I want to be in control of the boat. Only one way to find out I guess! I'm just regretting not getting my order in straight away, I was seriously thinking about it very early on but then decided to get to know the 700 a little better. As it turned out I should have put my money down because its been so cold this winter that sailing really hasnt been top of my list. Still I cant wait for the nationals now!
