I would be surprised if there's not a lot more to come from the 100 yet. The fleet is still in its first year. I have seen a marked increase in the standard of the 300 fleet from when I first joined the class in 2002. I'm sure it will be the same in the 100 as people spend more time in their boats and get to grips with some of the idiosyncracies.

Yes, that was my take on it, but it does show how damn fast the 300 is to be a similar speed without the kite! I miss my 300, as someone I know said at his birthday recently, "this growing old business is a chalenge!"

It's the tight reaches that do it. The 300 is quicker than a Musto Skiff on a one-sail reach!

Maybe with you in Mr B, not with my sorry ass!! LOL LOL  In all seriousness you are right, the 300 is just awesome on a tight reach.  Its also pretty quick by the lee, i found at the Bloody mary this year i was almost as fast as the hiking Assy boats that were sailing the angles.

I'm sure with both those white sail reaches on your courses Rich, the D-1 should more than hold it's ground!  In fact, I reckon it could do very well.... 
I hope thats not the case or the 12ftrs and us will struggle!!!!!
