RS600FF flying along in 20 knots of wind

[sail4live]

I like the Boat but the moth is still the better

[robraver]

That looks like serious fun! the prices I have seen so far are a bit more attainable when compared to the Moths etc.

How much water do the foils draw? I have a lot of kelp to deal with where I sail but there is one clear area where I could launch.

[A1Tyler]

I'd have liked to see him gybe wire-to-wire without coming off the foils.

im sorry but an international moth is a much better design

[SailJuice]

@Theef3kw

"A much better design..." For what? Your statement is meaningless unless you define what the design is intended for.

[Theef3kw]

@SailJuice ok a new moth can go 30 knots and an rs 600 can go 20....and the moth is constantly being modified unlike this

[collinp72]

As a fat bastard at 100kg a moth a slightly out of my reach. I would be interested in understanding where and when the RS600FF would be made commercially available.

sailing is a really nice sport love it

[robraver]

it looks mad!!! what a buzz you must get sailing...no....flying that boat!

[angus11122]

how does it fly???? how does the daggerboard come out like that? tell me!

[edshift]

Hydro foils - Like a wing under the water - provides hydrodynamic lift. You can see them at 3:20.

[ianconboy]

brilliant

[Johndaly69]

How do you get the daggerboard out??

[Antonz4]

The wave sensor - does that adjust the angle of the foils? I.E - is it electronic?

[SailJuice]

There is a bow wand which is mechanically linked to the central foil, so yes, it does adjust the angle of the foils but, no, it's not electronic...

[Antonz4]

Right I see so that requires the wave to actually touch the wand for there to be an adjustment I take it....

I'd buy one but 1. I don't have the money and 2. I'm probably not quite heavy enough to balance it.

[SailJuice]

If you tried it you'd love it so much that 1. you'd find the money and 2. you'd get heavier... ;)

[Antonz4]

Yeah probably.... I gather RS are taking some interest, the RS600FF section on their website is "Coming soon". That could be interesting....

@SailJuice

I bet it works much smother, but I think I would prefer a "manual".

Still, very nice boat. I envy you :)

[rbrbx2]

Wow thats almost as exciting as an Optimist

[LUCASgProductions]

this comment made me lol. its ALMOST as exciting

[shift123]

looks aweswome! im on a moth atm but a bit to heavy, would like one of these! not sure about the cheapest way to fly though!!!!

[cleav0071]

Insane, were did you get the foils and how much mods did the 600 need to get this working? What did LDC say?

[STR33TRAC3RR]

They are about £2500. You get them from the name at the start of the video.
