It planes upwind!!!

1,652 returns according the 2014 PY list, that's 230 more races recorded than the Musto Skiff, and over 1,400 more than the 'obvious competitor'.   

This forum has often gauged popularity by nationals attendance.  Maybe the PY returns would be a better metric - especially for club racing.

I think the 100 has proved what it can and very clearly what it can't do, and whilst I accept that early proponents may have been utterly deluded that it would be a good club racer (across locations), and imho, the multiple rigs has caused far more confusion than benefit, it does seem to be holding its own - the 8.4 anyway.  

think of the silver lining Clive.... the class has worked hard to get rid of that fat boy 10.2 sail, and it's always been a meeting place for ex-Laser hiking bunnies and fitness nuts who revel in 4 back to back races.  

You can't very well get the sponsor chucking out free chocolate bars and you lot all getting fat and slow... it just wouldn't do.   The next thing they'll suggest is joining the rest of the RS crowd at a party and getting peeved up... no thank you, not when there's a nice quiet restaurant to nurse a shandy.  

Steady on, D-One national champ was 78kg.
