One of the
most successful classes of modern times, the
RS200 has developed a huge following and
competitive fleets at club, circuit and
championship level.
Responding to finesse rather than physique,
the RS200 allows parents, youngsters,
couples and friends to share the excitement
of asymmetric sailboat racing.
On the open sea or the smallest of lakes,
the success of the RS200 is proof that it
has got what it takes.
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.
