  • Hull The result of Phil Morrison's years of experience. Perfect blend of speed, maneuverability and ease. Vice free and a real joy to sail. Light and stiff foam sandwich construction. Stiffness and strength lead to the maximum transfer of power from the rig into speed. Open transom gives a virtually self draining cockpit and the moulded self bailer 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, making the RS400 a popular choice for mixed teams. The interior layout is simple and efficient. Principle controls are led to either side of the boat, so that the helm or crew can "change gear" without losing speed.
  • 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 The light weight Proctor mast uses a section especially developed for the RS400. Bend is controllable using 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 are the result of long development hours in front of a computer and on the water. Both main and jib are fully battened to stabilise the shape, reduce flogging and extend their competitive life. Perfect match between the mast and mainsail give exceptional power control. 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. Evolutionary bowsprit can be canted to windward, allowing the RS400 to sail very fast at virtually any downwind angle.
