I believe they do not want the RS800 to be seen as a trainer for the 49er...

One thing I think is very interesting is the RS800 bans the crew from doing the mainsheet!

What about the B14? - the beds on either side are very comfortable! (For some reason most people prefer to call them wings!) It's quite easy to fall asleep on them when drifting around waiting for wind...
