The RS100 Owners Thread

So James, do they come with any suggested rig settings
(E.g. initial spreader lengths, shroud pin settings) or is
it fully trial and error which I will soon be joining you
in?
I'm sure mine will be slightly different anyway as I'll
have the smaller rig.

Hi Phil,

I just took delivery last Saturday and have been putting it all together for my first sail coming up this weekend. I would say the user manual is perfect for getting everything set up to a standard level that can then be tweaked in time. The instructions are much easier to follow than Ikea furniture!

I am going to start with gate in middle and pins on about 3 down on the caps and then take it from there. The attention to detail on everything is superb. The thing I had not totally appretiated is the spreaders fixing to the mast allowing some level of rotation. Neat design.

Cheers,

Keith. 

Probably an hour so I suppose.

Its just taken me longer as I keep admiring the nice shiney carbon foredeck.....

The main thing that needs done is just the mast in terms of fitting spreaders, shrouds and halyards. Then its just put the boom and mainsheet on and then that pretty much it. The just stick the sail numbers on.

As I say all very clearly documented in the owner handbook.

Cheers,

Keith.
