How about we wash the track down in oil as well and we'll see how he gets on with 300BHP. |

The first of two huge deliveries of new RS boats was shipped to Minorca Sailing’s base last week – meaning they will start the season with their greatest number of new RS’s ever, including RS200s, 400s, Fevas, Vareos and Q’BAs adding to the other RS classes already out there. You will even be able to sail the brand new RS100 at Minorca Sailing when two of them arrive May. Treat yourself - it’s fab – check out www.minorcasailing.co.uk to find out more.

The point is that they are different cars and will go at different speeds - yes, under some (exceptional) conditions (e.g., oily track or even just very wet) the result could be that the 1.6 wins the race - that dosen't matter to the argument here. If the boats with different sails have different performances, then they should have their own PYs for club racing. This needn't have any effect on open events. I really think we can all get what we want here |

Not quite as extreme as that though is it? There is a smaller sail for lighter helms and a bigger sail for heavier. To put it in your car context, think of it as a Lotus 7 vs a Porsche 911 The Lotus is lighter with less power but just as quick as the heavier Porka! Equalised weight for power scenario!
Anyway, if its going to be two classes then two numbers makes sense the Rs100 and the RS100 XL. I just wasn't buying into the 'its windy today I'll stick the small rig on and drop 10 PY points' vibe. Sounds great, can't wait to have a go. |

No, you're right the difference is probably not that extreme. But its a nice problem to have choosing between a Porsche and a Lotus |

Thats fine as long as you don't change the rig halfway through the series. If you do then you have to race off the faster PY like with the laser fleets. The sails need to be clearly different otherwise the club race officers will never be able to police it! My feelings on the matter are that if you start a club series in one rig, you should have to complete it in the same rig to get your result, if you change boats (or in this instane rig) then your results in the new rig should not count towards the series points! |

yes, I think agree with that - its how things are done at my club. It should be that people honestly declare which rig they sail with when signing on. Edited by asterix |

The 2 sails are called "10.2" and "8.4". apart from looking diffent sizes, the 10.2 has a black "swoosh" near the clew and black sail numbers, and the 8.4 has a white swoosh and (we were considering) white sail numbers. Then your race officer, finishing the first open with 10.2's and 8.4,s on the same course could say into his dictaphone: "white 104, black 107, etc". Easy for any race officer. would go in class rules etc. what do we think?

...on behalf of those who volunteer to do OOD duty at their clubs (hopefully not over-stepping the mark here) can I just say "thank you". Refreshing to have some thought about such a simple, but apparently difficult to achieve, issue from LDC - GJ!
...as for those of you racing about without any numbers on your sails...  |
