RS900 – not to be…
ＬＤＣ社長のコメントです。
アジアの女性セーラーも意識して開発してきました。
姉妹艇でもあるＲＳ８００も乗りやすい艇ですのでトレーニングにはＲＳ８００も最適かと思います。
女子強化も４７０とスキッフということになります、これからの艇種ですので世界中イコールコンディションです、ぜりリオではＦＸでメダルを！！
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.
