The RS100 Owners Thread

Actually, thinking about it. I take my last comment back. Perhaps it was a cheap shot. I still don't believe the sail numbers relate to physical boat sails. But you are right given my relationship to a competitor, it's out of order so I retract it.

Hanna, I am in Menorca at the moment. It's roasting hot out here but has been pretty windy all week. The conditions look perfect for you! I am very jealous. I had enquired about hiring a boat whilst out here but Menorca sailing don't do hire only courses/holidays. The other option was hire a laser pico locally but that wasn't worth upsetting the wife over.

Good luck and enjoy the Menorca sunshine, it's stunning out here!

No soreness here, just trying to be fair.

Didn't they start at 100, so if they are in the 400's now then that's about 100 boats a year which sounds about right given they sell globally, and the time it took for production to even deliver the first fifty, it doesn't mean there are necessarily any more than about fifty or sixty in circulation in the UK but I'd be surprised if it was less.
This it the fourth year of production and we're in the home market, a bigger market than perhaps the D1 enjoys if it is the comparison with the D1 which is in consideration, for all their faults, I think it is in everyone's interest that RS continue to succeed. They may churn out mediocrity now and again, but on the whole they back their play with consumers, have a good customer service record, run events (even though they make the mistake of timing out their sponsors)and are a beacon of near professionalism in a business of cottage inefficiency so to be fair this probably isn't the thread to be having a go at them anyway..
