RS200 (dinghy)

The RS200 is a 4m, double handed, hiking, racing dinghy. Designed in 1995 by Phil Morrison and manufactured by RS Sailing, it has a lightweight polyester GRP with Coremat hull construction.

Performance and design
The RS200 utilises a single line asymmetrical spinnaker system and low sheet loads on the sail controls. It can be sailed successfully by pairs of sailors with combined weights of between 16 stone and 26 stone. Both sailors hike; there are no trapezes or wings. The open transom assists drainage after a capsize and a moulded self bailer can be opened to remove any remaining water.
