That is 91kg hull weight though a 300 is 58 and a D Zero 43 so it's probably not a fair comparison (through that probably makes it a bit less frisky than a 300  Wink)

Quite possibly been on here before but for those who find an RS300 challenging  - Raider.
And it also comes with a built in insulated box, for cold beverages, or quite possibly for keeping a between race pie warm. Why do Phantoms not have these?

Nice guy though, if it’s the same chap!  A well sailed 300 is a sight to behold in windy weather mind.... they really are fantastic dinghies, if a little misunderstood.

Not by you anyway. I've seen them in all winds and sea and good sailors Mage them look easy. I was ok in one on flat water but I never really got the hang of the waves like some. That was cos of me, not the boat
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

RS300 sailors do seem to adopt some unconventional hiking techniques. Is the 'laying on stomach facing the water' method generally considered more effective? Or is that just for a 300?

No, he's not, he's much much better, had the best race of his life yesterday... Oh and in a Solution racing other Solutions...in 21 gusting 35..and very much in the game... until he ran out of puff that is.. but that's just a lack of gym time.
