The RS100 Owners Thread

use japp tape not duck tape.

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.

but what would you sail then?

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.
