RS 400
6 Episodes
The RS 400 is a light-weight sailing dinghy designed by Phil Morrison and manufactured by RS Sailing. The dinghy is sailed by two people and has a main, a jib and an asymmetric spinnaker.
The RS400 is designed for a wide crew weight range. 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.
The light weight mast and mast bend can be controlled using a deck level screw and adjustable spreaders. Rake and sideways bend are further variable via the jib halyard. Both the main and jib are fully battened. The asymmetric spinnaker has an extending bowsprit that can be biased/offset/"rocked" to windward, allowing the RS 400 to sail deeper angles downwind.
