Just seen the mess on another forum on this topic. Didn't mean to replicate that, honest!

Are you suggesting there are deliberate untruths in that aero ad? I'm not. I believe RS consider those statements to be true. I am just surprised and a little sceptical, but delighted to be proven wrong because it would be awesome!

When you buy your bmw/Audi/Ford/ Peugeot or your sh#ty pick-up/truck do you believe the advertising bumph or do you engage your brain first?

Yes, but that is a factual claim. Not saying it's wrong - I genuinely hope it's true, what a fantastic performance leap that is! Beat your old man over the water! That claim isn't the same as saying "it's fast" or "it's cool" or "it may improve your chances of pulling".

From the front page:

http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/179841/New-fleet-of-RS-Aeros-arrive

A bold claim from RS that the Aero 5 is faster than a full Laser. Is it really so? If true, that's surely the biggest increase in youth performance since the 29er. And the upwind planing claim repeated too.

This is a forum FFS; and a very gentlemanly one at that; if you want to see what a sh*t fight is get over to SA where people really know how to have a fight and fling the insults around ...

RS have used this forum extensively over the years, especially to flog a load of 100s which it would seem are not so popular now ... 

You gotta take the rough with the smooth if you want to play the game ... y'all just need to get a grip ... it is just a forum ... the real stuff happens on the water ...

Just for the record, the D-Zero small rig, is a different class.  It will Be called D-Zero Blue (i am sure it will be abbreviated)  It will sit under the overarching umbrella of the D-Zero class association, however the boats are strikingly different to look at due to sail colour.  So pulling a fast one will be difficult.

Which is exactly what i was suggesting earlier in the other thread.  Make things contrasting, make it easier.  Just because i bought a competitor boat does not mean my opinion is not valid.  You can't argue surely that it makes common sense?

We are you asking these questions when you have no interest in buying anything that's not from Rodney?

I'm afraid that simply isn't true.  Over the last few years, i have owned boats built by Vandercraft, Winder.  I also own a Graduate i sail with my daughter.  Rodney only supplies North sails, i only ever used north sails on my Solo.

I am asking the questions because, like you i'm guessing.  I have an interest in whats new in a sport i Love.  I am also expecting to be racings some Aeros at some point, so being clear about the ruleset they are working to regarding rigs etc. is important to me.
