RS 800 RS Sailing for sale in La Rochelle, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
The RS 800 is a double trapeze skiff produced by the LDC Racing Sailboats shipyard, it is the little cousin of the 49er. It is a fast dinghy with a plastering hull, for experienced dinghy sailors. However, it is more accessible because it is more stable and less powerful than the Olympic 49er.

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.
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€.
This boat has evolved 10 years ago with a different deck plan that makes it easier to navigate upright.
