Thriving Class

• The epitome of the modern classic
• Hugely popular Class in clubs and on the RS Racing Circuit
• Multiple top sailors over the years – Competitive asymmetric racing
• Fantastic Class community on the RS Racing Circuit
• Designed for medium to heavy teams – Many mixed crews

Hull

• Perfect blend of speed, manoeuvrability and ease – Truly vice free and a joy to sail
• Light and stiff foam sandwich construction.
• Stiffness and strength lead to maximum transfer of power into speed.
• Open transom gives a virtually self-draining cockpit, and the moulded self-bailing system 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; helms can be big or small.
• Simple and efficient interior layout – Principal controls are led to either side of the boat, so that the helm or crew can "change gear"

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

• Lightweight Selden mast uses a section especially developed for the RS400
• Mast bend controlled with 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 with long competitive life
• Fully battened main and jib for shape stability, to reduce flogging and extend their life
• Perfect match between the mast and mainsail gives exceptional power control. Coupled with the high-volume hull, these features ensure a 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.
