Rs400 crew weight

RS4class - Sail-World. The dinghy is sailed by two people and has a main, a jib and an asymmetric spinnaker. Principle controls are led to either side of the boat, so that the helm or crew can “change gear” without losing speed.


Would we be very uncompetitive if we were much heavier? 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. Adrenaline packed racing and a full-on social scene. The RS2is one of the most popular two person sailboats of today.


Go To: Sailing - Dinghy Classes - Multi Handers - Hiking Spinnaker. Sail Set: Main, Jib, Spinnaker. The light weight mast and mast bend can be controlled using a deck level screw and adjustable spreaders. The interior layout is simple with the principle control lines being led to either side of the boat, so that either helm or crew can adjust the rig control settings.


Bend is controllable using a deck level screw and adjustable spreaders.

Suitable for inland and sea sailing. Rake and sideways bend are further instantly variable via the jib halyard led back to the crew. Upwind the boat is a delight. The crew simultaneously moves weight into the boat whilst uncleating the leeward jib sheet.


At this stage the boom is beginning to travel across the boat. The helm begins to cross the deck an en route, grabs the new wing wang with the mainsheet hand. Can carry the heavier weights with spreader settings, rake etc. Weight : Country: United Kingdom.


Rig Type: Bermuda Sloop Fractional (with jib) Crew : 2. We have focused on range of crew weights from 135kg to 170kg. The setting guides provided demonstrates that the 4is a very versatile boat and can be raced competitively at the top end of the fleet on the lighter end of the scale, contradicting the common misconception that the 4is for heavier crews. High quality sails are the result of long development hours in front of a computer and on the water.


Performance and design. Phil Morrison designed two person asymmetric hiking dinghy. Excellent UK circuit with fleets often exceeding boats.


The RS Sailing Store is alive and kicking online but the shop onsite at HQ remains closed for obvious reasons. Orders are still being dispatche but delivery times are still being affected so please expect a week for delivery.

Lightweight rowing (abbreviated Lwt or Lt) is a category of rowing where limits are placed on the maximum body weight of competitors. According to the International Rowing Federation (), this weight category was introduced "to encourage more universality in the sport especially among nations with less statuesque people". Coupled with the centreboar they are well suited to Poole Harbour.


Good (sponsored) UK circuit. Lee on Solent Sailing Club. I plugged in my speed puck to get some. Simple and fast and with large racing circuits, they are among the UK’s most popular hiking dinghies and ideal for.


What is the ideal combined 29er crew weight ? Pretty awesome in under 10knts especially 125kg is a pretty good number depending where you sail.
