Naturally we are hugely disappointed that the RS900 has not been selected as the women’s Olympic skiff. It was recommended for selection by ISAF’s Equipment Committee who carried out the most detailed examination of all the entrants and judged it to best fit the criteria – a spectacular boat that would suit the size of sailors specified.
We at RS are proud that we met the criteria and developed an ideally suited boat that is a true credit to our own team, the suppliers involved and the RS name.
We will, of course, forever be convinced that the RS900 would have been the best boat for the women’s skiff, able to be sailed by Asian women as well as their western counterparts – affordable enough to build a wider class and develop women’s skiff sailing into a significant part of our sport. So we are genuinely sad tonight that this is not to be.
I would especially like to thank the many international sailors whose encouragement and support for the RS900 has been incredible.
We congratulate MacKay Boats on their successful selection campaign and wish the FX Class well for the future.
Strong winds on Sunday with gusts over 30 knots at times meant the ISAF evaluation panel had little option but to postpone several times before finally cancelling sailing for the day.
Monday’s condition were close to perfect for this still early stage in the week – mainly 10 – 15 knots.
エンデバートロフィーというディンギー王者決定戦のようなレースがあります。
各艇種別の代表が同じ艇を使用しレースをします、毎年行われていて今年はＲＳ２００のセーラーが優勝しました。
昔、江ノ島ではこれとは逆に艇種別レース（ワンオブアカインドレース／One of a Kind Race）とういのが有り、これはこれで楽しかったですが・・・ヤマハや関東自動車（昔はディンギーを作っていました）のワークスチームが出てきて盛り上がっていました・・・
当然でしょうが２人乗りクラスのチームのほうが上位にきてますよね。

ニュースにはだれでも購入が出きるとは書いてありますが？？
DSM – the boat is available for purchase by anyone. “The development and the materials have been made by DSM but in cooperation with Nautivela so anybody can buy it,” continues Van Haaren. “They can make exactly the same boat for you or other Olympic teams.
