The RS100 Owners Thread

Just eat more...

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.

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

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

RS100 production is fully up and running in the Thailand factory, with another busy weekend for the team Can anyone spot their boat?

There are even more boats around the corner.....
