Hull

• Epoxy GRP composite sandwich construction for lightweight, stiffness and a long competitive life.
• Easily driven with a reasonably fine bow and sufficient waterline width aft for stability.
• Flared topsides give reserve buoyancy and the moulded-in wings add more
• Spray rails on the chines give excellent water release and a drier ride

Foils

• Pivoting centreboard and rudder chosen for user friendliness
• Launching and recovery are easy, and serious damage risk from grounding is largely eliminated

Cockpit

• Most people think the RS100 is just about the most comfortable hiking boat they've ever sailed.
• Mainsheet jammer well forward in the cockpit for smooth transition in light wind tacks and gybes, without digging the stern
• Vang and Cunningham controls are led to the sides of the wings and the centreboard has a simple uphaul / downhaul system.

Spars

• The carbon fibre mast is in two main parts for easy transport on a car roof or in a 20' shipping container.
• A removable bottom stump extends the mast length for the 10.2 m2 sail
• Shrouds, but no forestay, means the rig can work automatically upwind
• The shrouds stop the rig bending forwards under spinnaker loads downwind – important to keep the bow up and reduce nose diving without the need for a super-stiff mast, which would be heavier and expensive
• A compression strut vang – Easy to adjust and highly effective

Sails

• Three mainsail size options: 10.2m, 8.4m and 7.4m
• Asymmetric gennaker with big chute beneath the foredeck for quick hoists and drops
• The lack of a forestay and the mast well aft mean that the spinnaker has a huge amount of space to blow through easily when gybing.
