The RS700 is a single-handed racing dinghy built by RS Racing and designed in 2000 by Nick Peters and Alex Southon as part of the RS series and built in 2001.[1] It is raced in many sailing clubs around Britain,[2] with a PY number of 860[3] and a D-PN of 73.3.[4]

Performance and design

The RS700 is regarded by many professionals, including German Contender champion Christian Brandt,[5] as the fastest and most user friendly skiff around, the magazine Yachts & Yachting has referred to it as being "simple but highly effective", the magazine also commented on the ease with which the spinnaker can be raised and lowered.[2] The RS700 has a trapeze, mainsail and an asymmetric spinnaker, but no jib.[6] The width of the wings on the RS700 are adjustable, meaning that the boat can be sailed by different sized sailors.[7]

Nick Peters, one of the designers has commented on the RS700 saying that, like all the previous dinghies in the RS series, it has a light hull and a huge sail area, but that it is conceptually very different from the RS600. Peters has also said that the RS700 can easily keep speed with the RS800.[8]
