Design Detail

Hull

• Spacious and deep cockpit for comfortable hiking.
• Toe straps adjustable for both height and reach.
• Thwart gives the crew a comfortable light wind position.
• Open transom allows the RS200 to virtually self drain after a capsize and a moulded self bailer quickly removes any remaining water.
• Immensely strong hull laminate ensures a long competitive life and trouble free sailing.
• Fittings layout designed for all combinations of strength and experience in the helm and crew.
• Allows either sailor to perform important functions such as spinnaker hoists and drops plus Cunningham and kicker control.
• Top quality fittings

Foils

• Pivoting centreboard and rudder make launching and recovery easy.
• Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.

Rig

• Makes the most of modern developments in power control, giving a broad competitive weight range and improved handling in all conditions.
• Mylar mainsail has ultra-soft full-length battens. These reduce "ragging" to extend the life of the sail, yet still allow the sail to de-power at rest.
• Dacron jib is easy to "read" in light winds. Sheet loads are very low, so even the lightest of sailors enjoy the ride.
• Asymmetric spinnaker with single line hoist and drop system. So easy everyone can enjoy the fun. Anyone who has sailed an RS200 downwind in a blow will testify to the boat's fantastic excitement and pace. Asymmetric spinnakers are fun to use, tactical on the race course and very easy for the crew to handle.
• SRS (Square Running Spinnaker System). This allows the boat to be sailed straight downwind whenever the situation demands, such as on small lakes and against the tide in estuaries. Asymmetric sailing with all the benefits and no drawbacks.

Design Detail

Hull

• Advanced computer design process - as used on the RS600 - produces a stunning, mathematically fair hull form.
• Narrow waterline and fine entry provide easily driven acceleration and speed.
• Flared topsides give leverage and reserve stability.
• Ergonomic deck and cockpit design, arrived at after hours of development, gives a comfortable bent leg hiking position.
• Staggeringly light.
• Bullet proof epoxy foam sandwich construction system so the RS300 will be fast for years.

Foils

• Dagger board for low drag efficiency.
• Rake-back system to prevent damage if you run aground.
• Lifting rudder for easy launch and recovery.
• Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.

Sails

• Long mainsail luff - crucial to power and speed.
• Centre of effort kept down with a low tack position.
• Steeply raked boom to give clearance for the sailor further aft.
• "Soft" sail and carbon composite mast work together to give exceptional automatic gust response from the rig.
• Mylar / Dacron sail, for long life and shape control.
• No shrouds so the boom can be fully squared on a run for maximum power and VMG.

Performance

• Specially developed performance equalisation system to give a broad competitive weight range. The problem faced when equalising a dinghy of this type is that much of the time downwind is spent sitting "in" the boat, so leverage equalisation does not have any effect. The RS300 uses two sail sizes to ensure that the power to weight ratio and handling characteristics are similar for both large and small sailors.

Design Detail

Hull

• The result of Phil Morrison's years of experience. Perfect blend of speed, manoeuvrability and ease. Vice free and a real joy to sail.
• Light and stiff foam sandwich construction. Stiffness and strength lead to the maximum transfer of power from the rig into speed.
• Open transom gives a virtually self draining cockpit and the moulded self bailer quickly removes any remaining water.
• Ergonomic cockpit design for comfortable hiking.
• Toe straps adjustable for both height and reach.
• Thwart gives the crew a comfortable light wind position.
• Wide hull allows leverage to be generated equally by both sailors, making the RS400 a popular choice for mixed teams.
• The interior layout is simple and efficient. Principle controls are led to either side of the boat, so that the helm or crew can "change gear" without losing speed.

Foils

• Pivoting centreboard and rudder mean the boat can be raced in any estuary and make launching easy.
• Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.

Rig

• The light weight Proctor mast uses a section especially developed for the RS400. Bend is controllable using a deck level screw and adjustable spreaders.
• Rake and sideways bend are further instantly variable via the jib halyard led back to the crew.
• High quality sails are the result of long development hours in front of a computer and on the water.
• Both main and jib are fully battened to stabilise the shape, reduce flogging and extend their competitive life.
• Perfect match between the mast and mainsail give exceptional power control. When coupled with the high volume hull these features allow a truly wide competitive crew weight range.
• Asymmetric spinnaker - easy to use, fast, fun and highly tactical.
• Evolutionary bowsprit can be canted to windward, allowing the RS400 to sail very fast at virtually any downwind angle.

Speed and handling 
Thoroughbred handling - electric performance - remarkably easy 

Light, stiff and easily driven - the RS500 delivers truly exciting performance with remarkably easy handling. Twice winners of the "Sailboat of the Year" award, the RS design team has a record second to none and the RS500 marks a real step forward in its sector. Three generations of the RS500 hull and deck design have been evaluated. Every element of the boat has been worked on to add performance, make the boat easier to sail, reduce complication and streamline production. Now you can be the judge. 

The uncluttered and spacious cockpit is class leading in its comfort for adults and young sailors. Low transom design makes climbing aboard after capsize easy and a pivoting centreboard and rudder make launch and recovery safe. 

For racing 
Full Class programme 

The hull design, cockpit ergonomics and rig size result from extensive R & D and allow the RS500 to be ideal for sailors across a broad weight range so the RS500 suits both men and women. The whole family can enjoy a piece of the action.

As part of the renowned RS Class Association, the RS500 has racing events, training and a great social programme. 

With boat numbers growing in the UK and internationally, the RS500 has applied for ISAF Recognised Status.

For fun 
Quick to rig - easy to own - fast and a blast 
The clear cockpit and user friendly performance mean the RS500 will be equally at home blasting along the beach as it will on the race track. 

Two sail size and spec options allow you to gear the boat according to your size and experience. 

Built to perform 
Light - stiff - strong 

GRP composite is essential to provide the stiffness to weight ratio to create the RS500s crisp, responsive feel and performance. No other material can produce the same results for a boat in this sector 

"The RS500 looks and feels like a winner. It is a statement about our undiminished passion to offer the best boat in each sector - truly The Sailor's Choice" 

Rig Technology 

Tapered aluminium alloy mast for gust response and rig tip efficiency, leading to more speed and better handling. 

High tech Mylar XL mainsail for ultra-light weight, low stretch and top performance. Filled Dacron S mainsail and jib for low stretch, ease of use and durability. 

Compression strut kicker gives masses of space in the forward part of the cockpit for efficient and comfortable crewing. 

Design Detail

Hull

• Designed by high performance boffin Clive Everest, the hull shape was created using computer generated sections resulting in mathematically perfect curves. That's why it looks so fair and fast.
• Enormous speed potential is matched by excellent handling.
• Vacuum bagged epoxy foam sandwich construction results in a hull that is fantastically strong, yet only weighs a stunning 52kg.
• Helming from the wire is made easy by the purpose designed geometry of the cockpit.
• High wing freeboard above the water gives a secure feel and all controls are easily reached. 
  

Foils

• Daggerboard for low drag efficiency.
• Lifting rudder for easy launch and recovery.
• Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.
  

Rig

• Carbon fibre mast gives a uniquely dynamic rig and the flextop delivers exceptional gust response.
• Light weight and strong.
• Fully battened mainsail to stabilise the shape and reduce flogging.
• Scrim mylar for tear resistance.
• Mast and sail work together to create a perfect rig. Pull the cunningham and watch the mast bend, the sail flatten and the upper leach open. Real power control.
• High performance is attainable from the big rig in only 8 knots of wind.
• Simple and highly effective reefing system reduces the sail area by nearly 20% and allows the boat speed to go on up as the wind increases. Removable mast extension - twin position shroud and trapeze settings - zip up sail foot. When reefed the sail head still reaches the top of the mast so maintains full tip response.
• The reefing system not only assists speed in a breeze, but also makes mastering the RS600 within the reach of most competent sailors…and a lot of fun
  

Performance equalised racing

• A simple performance equalisation system dramatically extends the competitive sailor weight range.

Design Detail

Hull

• Long hull with wide enough waterline provide a relatively stable platform. Stability and little tendency to nosedive are essential to make this type of sailing attainable to a range of sailors.
• Flared topsides offer reserve stability.
• Tried and tested RS epoxy sandwich construction system - proven in terms of ultra-light weight, high strength and virtually zero water absorption.
• The deck at the bow offers maximum volume to shed water quickly if the boat drives through a wave.
• Spinnaker chute mounted as far aft as possible to keep the weight back and the spinnaker clear of the water.
• Cockpit design allows a secure helming position from which to initiate manoeuvres or hoist and drop the spinnaker - another crucial design element to make the boat as user friendly as possible.
• Spinnaker hoisting and dropping made simple by the large chute mouth and slick pump action halyard and downhaul systems.
  

Rig

• Carbon composite mast. Ultra-light weight with dynamic gust response in the tip.
• Mainsail has a long luff for efficiency and power.
• Only one full length top batten, plus three short battens for a "soft" configuration which gives a light and user friendly rig.
• Kevlar reinforced mylar sail fabric is used for strength, low stretch and high visibility.
• User friendly, highly effective rake and flattener system reduces the power to make the boat faster and more controllable in strong winds.
• Asymmetric spinnaker - high aspect for low sheet loads and good visibility. Silicone coated fabric makes hoists and drops faster, easier and extends the life of the sail. Downwind performance is simply sensational.
  

Foils

• Dagger board can be raked to balance the boat in a breeze when sailing with the rig de-powered.
• Lifting rudder for easy launching and recovery.
• Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.
  

Performance equalised racing

• The performance equalisation system with adjustable width wings has been refined and means winners genuinely can be big or small.

Design Detail

Hull

• Long and narrow on the waterline, to reduce the drag.
• Flared topsides give reserve buoyancy for easier handling.
• Cockpit design was refined in 2007 and offers the helmsman a secure steering position from which to initiate manoeuvres - whilst allowing run-through tacks and gybes for experienced teams.
• Large spinnaker chute forward of the jib tack for fast hoists and drops with minimum loads.
• Incredibly light 62kg hull weight. Ready to sail the whole outfit is a staggering 110kg light.
• High tech construction system uses the tried, tested and immensely strong RS epoxy foam sandwich system. 
  

Foils

• Daggerboard for low drag efficiency.
• Lifting rudder for easy launch and recovery.
• Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.
  

Rig

• Carbon composite mast - very light and the flexible top section delivers excellent gust response.
• Sealed mast to reduce the tendency for the boat to invert when capsized.
• Mainsail and jib are built from ultra light, strong and high visibility mylar / kevlar laminate.
• Only the top two mainsail battens are full length, to create a light and forgiving rig.
• Self tacking jib ensures easy manoeuvres, especially offwind.
• Asymmetric spinnaker design with relatively short foot to minimise sheet loads and a high clew to aid visibility.
  

Performance equalised racing circuit

• The performance equalisation system measures weight and leverage - and gives high speed close racing with both big and small winners. It really works and is an integral part of the success of this fleet.
• The RS800 is the strongest skiff class in the UK with big fleets on the racing circuit. A number of mixed teams and many joint events with other great RS classes mean the 800 is also the place to be for the sociable side of skiff racing. The RS800 is now also spreading into Europe.
