Overview
About this vessel
One of our much loved Heritage Classes - the RS600 is a great mix of stunning looks and brilliant performance! A highly developed rig control and reefing system make this excitement available to an extraordinarily wide range of sailors. The RS600 has won the enthusiasm of hundreds of single-handed sailors over the years. It is faster than most two-person boats! Strong enough to take the punishment, sailing an RS600 is pure adrenaline.
Heritage is defined as a class that no longer has new boats in production directly with RS Sailing. However, the racing class is still active and thriving. Interested in owning a new RS600? Head to the RS600 Class Association to find out more. For pre-loved boats, check-out our used boat pages or contact our sales team.
Features:
- Hull designed by Clive Everest using computer-generated sections resulting in mathematically perfect curves for fair and fast hull shape.
- Vacuum bagged epoxy foam sandwich construction results in a hull that is fantastically strong, yet only weighs 52kg.
- Helming from the wire is made easy by the cockpit's purpose-designed geometry with high wing freeboard for a secure feel and easily reached controls.
- Daggerboard for low drag efficiency and lifting rudder for easy launch and recovery, both constructed with sophisticated GRP sandwich construction for strength, lightness, and high performance.
- Carbon fibre mast with a flextop delivers exceptional gust response; lightweight, strong rig with fully battened scrim mylar mainsail for tear resistance.
- Highly effective reefing system reduces sail area by nearly 20% allowing continued boat speed in increasing wind; removable mast extension; twin position shroud and trapeze settings; zip-up sail foot.
Performance equalised racing:
- Simple performance equalisation system dramatically extends the competitive sailor weight range.
