Ullswater Yacht Club currently has 2 members regularly sailing the RS600 dinghy with more entries arriving during open events, prodominantly the Lord Birkett Trophy.   Both sailers, Andrew Webster and Callum Findlay will be heading out this year to the Scottish Skiff events so catch up with them there if you are not local to Penrith, or get yourself up to one of the clubs open events.  Hope to see you on the water.

Strong enough to take the punishment, sailing an RS600 is pure adrenaline.

Hull
Designed by high performance boffin Clive Everest, the hull shape was created using computer generated sections resulting in mathematically perfect curves. That's why it looks so fair and fast.
Enormous speed potential is matched by excellent handling.
Vacuum bagged epoxy foam sandwich construction results in a hull that is fantastically strong, yet only weighs a stunning 52kg.
Helming from the wire is made easy by the purpose designed geometry of the cockpit.
High wing freeboard above the water gives a secure feel and all controls are easily reached.

Foils
Daggerboard for low drag efficiency.
Lifting rudder for easy launch and recovery.
Sophisticated GRP sandwich construction gives strong, light, high performance foils.

Rig
Carbon fibre mast gives a uniquely dynamic rig and the flextop delivers exceptional gust response.
Light weight and strong.
Fully battened mainsail to stabilise the shape and reduce flogging.
Scrim mylar for tear resistance.
Mast and sail work together to create a perfect rig. Pull the cunningham and watch the mast bend, the sail flatten and the upper leach open. Real power control.
High performance is attainable from the big rig in only 8 knots of wind.
Simple and highly effective reefing system reduces the sail area by nearly 20% and allows the boat speed to go on up as the wind increases. Removable mast extension - twin position shroud and trapeze settings - zip up sail foot. When reefed the sail head still reaches the top of the mast so maintains full tip response.
The reefing system not only assists speed in a breeze, but also makes mastering the RS600 within the reach of most competent sailors�and a lot of fun

Performance equalised racing
A simple performance equalisation system dramatically extends the competitive sailor weight range.
