RS800 the Skiff double trapeze accessible
Less sail area than a 49er, the RS800 benefits from a fairly wide hull, a carbon mast, a self-tacking jib and an asymmetrical spinnaker.
The RS 800 is the accessible double trapeze skiff thanks to excellent stability, a healthy hull and "sufficient" power, making it a very good boat for mixed crews. In addition, the RS800 is undergoing sustained development in France, driven by RS France, which runs the fleet and offers supervised sailing.
Second-hand RS800, market, offers
The RS800 costs around €20,000 new. A pretty sum but less than its cousins the 49er and 49erFX. However, the second-hand market offers the possibility of acquiring fairly recent boats for about half this price. Even much less for older models that can be bought for as little as 3000€.
The RS800 versions
This boat has evolved 10 years ago with a different deck plan that makes it easier to navigate upright.
