The RS100 Owners Thread

   I am sure that Garda will be every bit as nice as Como. I think from speaking to everyone that was at L'Estartit they would be going to Garda and taking the family, as there is quite a lot of things that they can do there while we are having a great time blasting around having lots of fun.
As Andrew says we now have a pretty big fleet at HISC into double figures and more arriving in spring. Nick P and Mike Mac have been sailing hard all winter with the rest of us planning to start again in spring. If anyone is keen to join us for a weekend then give me a shout!

	Hi guys, The Parkstone fleet are currently taking a winter break but will be coming out of hibernation towards the end of Feb. so I thought I'd just add in a bit of publicity for us

	The HISC fleet, as Andrew says, is building and super competitive - we will have 11 boats by the end of the month, with the promise of a 12th (2 very good ex FF sailors, who will share)by the start of the season. As appears to be the Hayling way, we are in complete hibernation - our season starts after the dinghy show on the 11th. For 2012 we will sail in a "medium Assymetric" fleet covering evering from 200s to 29ers. 1 race sat pm and 2 races Sundays, mainly w/l. should be a big improvement over sailing with FF's, Merlins etc, or during the autumn we sailed with the fast Assymmetric when we ended up with some long races. I know some are planning the Nationals and some opens - ok, back to the gym!

	There was certainly talk of there being one 8.4 in amongst that lot but I'm sure Nick/Paul can confirm. Anyway, stop dithering Clive, it's your destiny!! Meanwhile, Nick: in your capacity as part of the race committee can you confirm if the medium asymmetric fleet will be out at sea in the summer? Last year people were worried that the 200s might get scared (despite being amongst the best around) but I can't imagine the 100 fleet will be thrilled with harbour racing...

	Gurnard Sailing Club now up to 12. Eleven are 8.4. Make a date for our circuit open in September. Without doubt one of the best overseas locations!! We hope to have special ferry deals available.

	I think there are 2 8.4s. there are however some lighter 10.2 sailors who might get a shock... Clive your always welcome... Andrew - all pennants are outside and summer series we will have a choice as 2 committee boats are rostered - sometimes it can be better inside. Nick

	Hi Clive / Andrew, It's not your destiny ! - having used the 10.2 for the first 18 months, with some success but definitely also some poor showings (last years Nationals best forgotten !) I am now firmly on the 8.4, going very nicely and really enjoying it. At 87kg I am in the cross-over zone but experience has taught me that over a range of conditions the 8.4 is the better sail for me and is generally quicker. We now have a fleet of 7 boats locally (+1 coming shortly) and we are all on 8.4's and having fantastic racing. Chris

	Without wishing to blow my own vuvuzela (!) I thought you might be interested to know that I had a really successful result in the Teign Corinthian Christmas Regatta. http://www.tcyc.org.uk/2012/01/03/christmas-regatta-results/ The interesting and pleasing thing (for me anyway) was that this was a mixed handicap fleet of 30 boats with very good sailors in a range of conditions but crucially on an RTC course - definitely not windward/leeward ! What a fantastic winter for sailing - so warm ! The Starcross Steamer on Sunday was the first time I had worm a wetsuit other than my hikers - and that was a 3mm short arm summer suit ! Can't wait for the series to begin !! Cheers Chris

	Chris - thats interesting - kind of what we are seeing - that the cross-over is higher than expected - closer to 90kgs maybe....now the controversial bit - you are in the unique position of having raced both at handicap level....do you really think you are going better on the 8.4 - or even as well? What handicaps do you use down there? Nick
