Thank you to those of you who have already voted
Don't worry if you haven't yet cos the vote will be open until Tuesday 3 January 2017
Read the two proposals here
Then vote "yes kicker" to optional increase to velocity ratio of kicker, or "no kicker" to no change to kicker system
and vote "yes rig" to optional increase to velocity ratio of forestay rig tensioner, or "no rig" to no change to forestay rig tensioner system

I look forward to receiving your votes and then publishing the RS700 Class Association decision in January 2017.
2. RS700 sailor survey 2016:
Hurray it's that time of year when you get your RS700 say
So make yourself a brew, grab a tinnie or the paint stripper and let us know exactly what you think here
Your RS700 Class Association Chair Richard Wadsworth and I look forward to using your feedback to help shape our support to you.
3. 2017 calendar:
Your 2017 calendar is up on your website here
and available to download and print from the documents library here
Make sure you stick those dates onto the family planner so you claim them for RS700 sailing before the DIY and family commitments get marked down!
4. Christmas shopping:
Don't forget you can buy your RS Sailor Gill polo shirt and customised RS bags from the Old Salt Loft at your fleet RS Class Association shop here
5. And Finally (but perhaps most importantly) Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from your RS Class Association:
That's from Heather (RS400 and International), Sally (RS100, RS200 and RS500), Joanne (Membership Secretary) and me Clare (RS300, RS700, RS800 and RS Vareo)
Happy RS700 sailing!
Cheers
Clare
