Do you know what Jim I agree with you. So I apologise if I am out of order, perhaps I have allowed myself to be led up a path whilst bored watching the kids play in the pool. So again apologies if I am out of order. Nick I don't mean to call you a liar. You don't need to prove yourself to me or anyone else for that matter. So whilst I stand by my of my comments it would appear thu have been taken out of some context.

Given how spread out the boats are, I can't see how it would be possible to make much of a guess about how many boats "ought" to be at a worlds - too many variables.

Ruscoe,

Whilst we all know some classes sail numbers are over inflated I think you will have to accept the above figures.

After all, only an utter fool would falsify figures in such a public way. I don't know if you know but as an ISAF class each boat built is issued with a builders plaque from ISAF. This is much like a tax disk.

I am sure ISAF would be after Nick pretty quickly is the tax collected was short of the number of claimed boats built.

As an aside I think ISAF could do all us sailors a favour by publishing the number of plaques issued each year for each ISAF class. Many classes don't have continuous sail numbers and this would be most interesting/helpful.

ISAF publish a report for each Int Class every year with data from the CA which includes numbers built. The Topper ones, for example, are here:
http://www.sailing.org/classesandequipment/20184.php
It includes:-
How many new boats were built in [last year]
How many boats were built over the past 5 years
Approximately how many boats exist Worldwide

However I suggest that the "how many boats exist worldwide" figure is best taken with a large pinch of salt for many of the classes. The Topper figure of 47,400 in 2012, for instance, implies that few Toppers have ever been destroyed, which I suspect may not be precisely correct.

I have no doubt about the numbers of RS100s in circulation.  The sales of D-Ones is nearly 180 so far and, bearing in mind that RS have sold many boats to institutions and that the D-One is priced to keep out the Riffraff out Wink, it seems absolutely reasonable to expect about 400+ RS100s sold to date.  It’s great for me to see the two classes developing so well.  It’s for sure an indication that single handed, asymmetric sailing is so popular Smile
