Difficult one to answer, 2.7seconds 😋

For a competent 600 sailor it will be quick, as if you slow down the track you'll end up in irons.

OK 2129
RS200 411

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering how long it takes for an RS600 to tack from trapeze to trapeze, close hauled at sea in a force 5 to 6 (racing conditions)? 

Many thanks!
