R Speculation

Rdm = reduced diameter masts for use on wave boards common to all brands
SDM = standard diameter mast for use on larger rigs tell me what's the dinghy standard mast again?
US Box = fin box for use with boards that have confined depth
Powerbox= safety single screw finbox for use on free ride boards and fins up to maximum depth of 40cm
Tuttlebox = two screw fixed system necessary if fin size is to exceed 40 cm.
Euro pin, common to all board produced for European market USpin for inbred cousins to fumble with and not function with cold hands.

Everything has it's place and a reason and all carry across multiple brands and all brands use them as a common standard, so a Starboard Tuttle fin will fit a Fanatic, or RRD etc etc.

Now tell me if I take that little pin thing that holds up the mast and try and stick it into some other boat is it even likely it'll fit, even if it looks identical in size and shape to the naked eye?

Imperial? Who even remembers what that was?

Hell you could forgive the Coffin Dodgers in the CVDRA having imperial screws holding down their sash chords, but we've been in Europe I don't care to think how long now, everything should be metric.

Edit.. no no no don't tell me it's the convicts! Ron & Stan are/were convicts and Har(ald)& Ken are Seppo's

They should be boycotted for not using Euro standards, get the weights and measures folk on them.

Well, both the RS and the Devoti have dagger boards. Probably not swappable, but neither has the centreboard you prefer Graeme.

So any more details on this RS?  Is the name RS Zero confirmed?  Is it true that the side decks are cushioned?  Is there an optional foiling package?  Will it be at the show?
