The boat’s generous beam measurement translates to both form stability and leverage when hiking out, allowing both sailors to effectively contribute their full bodyweight to keeping the boat flat.
The RS400 features a fractionally rigged aluminum mast that can be bent and raked via adjustable spreaders and the jib halyard, as well as a fully battened Mylar mainsail and a fully battened Dacron jib. Stir in an asymmetric spinnaker that’s flown off of a retractable bowsprit (which can be articulated to weather), and the RS400 is capable of challenging and entertaining performance-minded crews of all ability levels.
- Lightweight aluminum alloy spar with adjustable bend control lets you dial-in sail shape.

- Fully battened mainsail and jib stabilize shape and preserve the sail’s life.
