The RS100 Owners Thread

Just come back from Menorca Sailing, they have 3 RS100's.

All you new RS100 owners, keep an eye on your mast foot. As one of the boats lifted it's mast foot base out of the floor. And another has a very suspicious looking 5mm hole leaking water directly under the mast foot area.

This could be for all sorts of reasons, and these boats do get sailed hard. But I thought it was worth a mention on here.

I spoke to Nick about the hole, It's meant to be there to drain the mast well. And to keep the lobsters fresh if you've been trawling!!

First few windy trips, I saw quite alot of that 5mm hole (can you say that on a public forum?) 

As for mast jumping out - its possible it wasn't right in when it was rigged because the control lines act as a retainer, as the kicker is rarely off completely. When the shrouds are pos3 they won't keep the mast in if you went trurtle.(here we are on the trawling theme again!)

 

Cheers

 

Wow OK, if that's the case forget what I said about the hole.

 Christ Jack, you would think you called one of their kids ugly or something!! lol

 

On a serious note, i should imagine there will be one or two construction issues with the number thats been built in such a short spce of time. Thats life!!

Ha, well Toyota did recall all the vehicles once the fault was found.  I think how they handled the recall issue was fantastic.
