RS700
Description
The RS 700 is a high-performance single-handed racing dinghy designed by Nick Peters and Alex Southon in 2000 and built by RS Sailing starting in 2001. This carbon/composite construction vessel represents the pinnacle of modern skiff design, featuring a daggerboard configuration with catboat (Marconi) rigging that includes a mainsail and asymmetrical spinnaker but no jib. The boat is renowned for its exceptional speed and user-friendly characteristics, with German Contender champion Christian Brandt praising it as "the fastest and most user-friendly skiff around."

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
