Now it's no longer a prototype, and a magnificent production ready to
sail item, launched today at the LBS with ll due ceremony by the guys at LDC, well done everyone and thanks for the champers.. So wondering around the show after, a couple of guys came up to me and we exchanged names and greetings having bumped into each other at the launch, so I suggested this as a meeting point to exchange sailing venues, swap notes and quirks as and when they arrive until such time everyone meets. Then having done that I remembered we've got a facebook group, but then facebook can be a bit lame, there again some folk feel forums are lame, Whatever, here's a thread, feel free to introduce youselves as and when you get one, find out bits of sailing intel etc etc. I'm counting the days. Think I'll stick to the small sail that big sail looked massively powerful on the stand. Edited by G.R.F. |

SWMBO has stated that I have to leave my credit card at home when I go to the Show on Sunday, so I won't be joining the ranks of 100s any time soon. She's such a spoil sport!

Hi Guys,
Name: Chris Cunningham It was really good to meet you and the other expectant owners at the show. It was the first time I had seen the boat at all and I thought it looked stunning and very well sorted - better even than I had anticipated from following the development blog. If it goes half as well as it looks, it will be a fantastic boat. Can't wait to get mine now, although I won't be sailing until April due to other commitments. Very keen to find out other owners in my area - I know you are out there but not quite who yet ! I'm based in South Devon and will be sailing mine mostly at Paignton Sailing Club (in Torbay) and at Teign Corinthian (on the Teign estuary). But I will also travel for events. I've opted for the big rig as I am looking for powerful and rewarding performance in the typical marginal force 2 to 3 conditions that seem to be the norm in the Uk and I'm around 14 stone. Having now seen the big rig it does look pretty grunty so going to need to get fit fast ! My present boat is a Vortex Assymetric (which i will be keeping for breezy days and for class racing - its a great boat in good wind and a very friendly class). I also crew on a 49er (weekend warrior standard). Never sailed a hiking boat before (crossed over from windsurfing straight into trapeze boats) so slightly apprehensive about the pain that is yet to come ! Anticipate attending the Nationals and looking forward to meeting up with other RS100 newbies in my area. I think its going to be a great class and am very pleased to be in from the outset.

You found it then Chris, nice catching up with you..
I forgot to mention there's also a facebook group when we spoke, meeting up here was the first thing that came into my head having just finished talking to Mark. |

Hi Graeme,
Yes I am pleased I said hello and it was good to meet you. I have sort of known you for a long time through windsurfing (together with my brothers Bob and Pete, we have been involved pretty much as long as you have - a VERY long time!). I recall you did me a good deal on a Screamer LCS back in the dark ages ! Last time I saw you was at Weymouth Speed Week - on a kite (the very very dark side) and wearing an SS field battle helmet !! I saw you guys have a Facebook page going. (I was on Facebook but closed my account when I started to get 'Friend Requests' from ex's who should be best forgotten !) Look forward to seeing how this post develops over time and to meeting up at future RS100 events. Cheers Chris Edited by ChrisC |

Another ex windsurfer over here, my first "proper" board was a Klepper 272, bloody quick until the deck and hull separated, interesting self rescue! Chris Gillies, member of Gurnard SC, thats on the Isle of Wight, previous boats include, Express, Marauder, 470, ISO, Blaze, Vareo, Blaze+kite(brilliant),RS600,RS700 and one day soon RS100. We have 5 on order at Gurnard, nearly a fleet, 8 boats gets us our own start, Cowes Dinghy Week is run from our club last week in July, our downwind legs can be miles long (100 nirvana) so if you and your family want a week on the Isle of WIght, thats the week to do it. We will definately be putting a posse together for the Nats, just over the water for us. I too am counting the days, I just don't know how many days to count! (RS?) |

Hi all,
Phil Jackson here. I sail at Parkstone Yacht Club in Poole, Dorset. I've got a 100 on order along with 5 others at the club. It looks like we're going to host the first Nationals and we also have a regatta week which runs 29 Aug through to the Friday (3rd Sept.) before the Nationals so if anyone fancies a warm up to the Nationals you are more than welcome. I've setup a PYC fleet web site which can be found here Cheers, Phil |
