RS400- 2 person, hiking with Asymetric Spinnaker
The RS400 is the turbo version of the RS200 for the heavier more experienced crews. With a fully battened sail plan the boat takes off in anything over a force 3.
The class has a strong reputation with good attendances at all major events. Not for the fainted hearted when its wind as the boat requires some experience to handle in the stronger winds.
Not a boat to cruise around for a leisurely sail this is an out and out racing dinghy. So not suitable to learn to sail in.
