It seems so simple to me like what laser did......
4.7, radial and full rigs.....
This was always how i saw the 100 going.
If we get enough 7.4's then they could generate enough returns in time asking as the class notifies the rya of a proposed 3 boat class.
Seems soooo simple to me.

Sad init ... Did you realise you wouldn't be able to enter RS100 events or use the RS100 PY when you bought it?

Mmm don't think so?
If a 7.4 turned up at my club I would quite happily let them sail off the 8.4 py of 1000.
I think every other club in the country would do the same.

Do you think RS will come up with another kite design for rtc racing a la Vareo?

Not really, there was quite a bit of discussion at the design stage about kites and the larger kite was clearly the winner, people seemed to want the thrill down wind! 
Personally, if you are going to have 3 mains why not 2 kites! Gives you so many more ways to be out of class!  Wink  Confused

Would you let a laser 4.7 sail off a radial handicap? Especially if it were blowing dogs off chains. 

What about opens and championships?

This is all rubbish.  The class rules don't mention the 7.4 simply because it didn't exist when they were written.  So they need updating (for those to whom this is really important), but lets have no more of this bollox about not letting people sail or race (or whatever divisive crappy rules is rules excuses you want to come up with)!

Clap Well said

Added to which there is precedent for using the 7.4 at official events. 2 were used at the 2011 Nationals and a 7.4 has also been used at opens. The class has dealt quite happily with this non-issue thank you.

Hanna, do not be put off coming to an event (when you are ready) by all this nonsense. You will of course be welcome and there will be no problem with use of a 7.4.

I'm also about to shoot off and have a great race in my 100, on a pond, RTC, using my 10.2 whilst weighing under 86kg
Great book for Club Sailors here

Errr ... Are we not discussing a new rule under vote that was penned after the introduction of the 7.4?
