Simply put, the RS700 takes the singlehanded lessons that sailors master aboard the Laser and other one-person dinghies and elevates it to an entirely new level of speed and high-performance thrills thanks to its asymmetric spinnaker, jib, extendable hiking-wing bars and trapeze wires. The result is one of the most exciting—and rewarding—singlehanded rocket ships afloat.
Much like other boats in the RS Sailing line, the RS700’s hull is built using epoxy and fiberglass for stiffness and strength, and its “foam-sandwich” construction ensures a featherweight finished product. In addition, the RS700 uses a system of lead weights and extendable hiking-wing bars to eliminate size or weight advantages amongst skippers during organized regattas.
