RS 800
The speed generated by the Double Trappies and the Gennaker is monster-class!!! It's also very popular with women!!
The RS800 is the largest model in the RS series. Its style brings to mind the International 14 class, known as the F1 of the sea. It is a skiff-type dinghy with a double trapeze and also shares the same asymmetric spinnaker. Like the International 14 class, the RS800 is a high-performance boat that is currently at the pinnacle of two-seater dinghies.
The bow pole is linked to the halyard and automatically retracts with the spin up and down. The spin pole is made of aluminum.
The bow is sharp, but the volume increases as it is reflected in the mid-zip. The hull is made of GRP and has a sandwich structure.
The bangs, outhauls and cunninghams are led by the left and right wings and can be operated even in trapeze mode.
The carbon fiber bow pole is fixed in three places.
The RS700 comes standard with a pump-up system.
The mainsail is made of Mylar film and only the top is fully battened.
The mast and boom are made of carbon.
The RS700 requires acrobatic maneuvering, with the tiller operated while trimming the gennaker and mainsail.
The volume increases from the sharp bow towards the cockpit, but the overall image is flat with a low freeboard. The cockpit is shallow and wide, almost like a saucer. The cockpit is uncomfortable to sit in, but since the standard riding position is usually on the wing, this shouldn't be a problem. It's true that it takes a little time to get used to riding the RS700. However, once you do, the speed you gain is an unknown world that is hard to replace with any other dinghy. The RS700 is the ultimate single-handed dinghy.
The RS700 runs smoothly while maintaining boat balance.
It boasts one of the fastest single-handed speeds.
The RS700's performance only comes into play when it is in trapeze mode.
The open transom also allows for excellent drainage.
RS 800 Features
In short, it's "the ultimate speed dinghy for ordinary women." If you want to experience the ultimate feeling of speed, the RS800 will fulfill your wish. While the RS200 is often ridden by male-female pairs, the RS800 is also popular. While it's not easy, it offers a good balance of safety in strong winds, a lightweight hull, and stability. Even when deploying the spinnaker in strong winds and sailing in a double trapeze, the helm balance is neutral enough that you can release the tiller. Because the hull is light (similar to a sea hopper), it will sink, but it can be easily righted by one person. Another notable feature is that many female crews are seeking skippers.
