The RS400 is a high-performance, lightweight sailing dinghy designed for two sailors. With a main sail, jib, and asymmetric spinnaker, the RS400 offers exceptional control and speed on the water. Its clean deck layout makes it easy to handle, with the rig being simple to control by either the crew or the helm. Both the main and jib sails are fully battened, enhancing sail shape and performance. The asymmetric spinnaker is equipped with an extending/retractable bowsprit, allowing the RS400 to sail deeper angles and optimize performance downwind.
TridentUK has been a proud sponsor of numerous national and regional RS400 events, with several of its staff members competing in the class. This strong connection to the RS400 community reflects TridentUK’s commitment to supporting sailors and promoting the class.
