The
fastest and most user friendly single handed
skiff! And performance equalisation means
that winners can be large or small.
Fantastic racing and big atmosphere on the
sponsored RS Racing Circuits.
 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.
 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.
 Rig
New
generation Superspar 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.
