Our Class

The RS400's are great 2 man hicking asymetric dinghies. They are powerful enough to be exiting but stable enough to be easy to sail. They can accomodate a range of crew weights and coupled with the centreboard, they are well suited to Poole Harbour.

The unique setting of Poole harbour allows both ‘round the cans’ and windward/leeward courses to be set giving challenging racing whatever the conditions.

The versatility of the 400 means we have a wide spectrum of sailors both in terms of age, experience and weight, but who all enjoy the close racing at both ends of the fleet (with some people managing to visit both ends over the course of a race!).

Racing happens on Saturdays and Wednesday nights during the summer, and on Sundays during the winter. We also have a number of socials through the year.

So if you fancy giving a 400 a go, or just like to come along to a social, contact the class captain or keep an eye on the web site.
