use japp tape not duck tape.
 
It's common for boats to use this method (seen it done on most boats ..100,400, phantoms, solos, solutions) it's really hard for the centre board case to be so many mm wide and the board to be  an exact fit.

You could use the old method of screwing a short lenght of garden hose pipe to the front of the board when in the down position from the cockpit with the board down so the hose pipe is still in the center board case with the board is fully down.
Then tighen the screws to compress the hose which will cause the pipe to widen to fill the gap thereby causing fiction.
 
HOWEVER CHECK WITH RS FIRST

I don't know what the board set up is on the 100, but is there a loop of rope or anything similar attached to the top (like on the 200). If there is, is there anywhere a piece of strong shock cord can loop around (aft toe strap fittings)? Works pretty well on my boat even with a fairly loose board - shock cord is loose enough so the board will start to come up if grounded, but not so that on a flat out reach it comes up more than about an inch.

What Nationals? What boat?

Mines out of action right now, and I'll be needing to try a Contender some time soon as a return favour, if it's a 100 you're after.

Grumpf, I've told you plenty of times you can try my boat any time you like!  It's parked at Grafham now, so any time you're passing give me a call...

....and no, Cambridge is not oop north!

I reckon the RS100 would do well at Grafham - it's a nice big stretch of open water.  Are there any there already?

Do we have any word yet on how the inlands went? Looking at the wind's for the weekend I was quite annoyed at no going but I really needed a day off after the run of work I've been on for the last few weeks. I was out at HISC yesterday though, lovely day with clear skies, bright sunshine and the joy of the water being warmer than the air. Despite the perfect 10.2 conditions (8-10kts), a good course, full tide with the beat going with the flow, I still couldn't beat the majority of the merlins or FFs. Looking at the times it appears that the 11pts that we were docked from our handicap has lost me a chunk of places in both races, where I used to be able to get inside the top 5 when sailing well (and I think I sailed really well yesterday) I'm now down in 10th & 11th!! It's gutting watching the merlins chug past you on the last beat despite wringing the neck out of the boat.

I think young Mr Childs won it from what I've heard. Meanwhile the 100s and 300s were doing battle from Emsworth, leading a 30+ boat fleet home: I went and saw the start on Sunday and looking at results, it was David Acres (300) first and Tim Weedon (100) 2nd a finn 3rd and 300s 5th and 7th too- now that looks an interesting contest! I'm intrigued to see where the 100 handicap  ends up relative to the 300- at the moment it looks about right, but is there more to come from the 100? Edit: James got there before me!
