Definately an express I used to Sail one on the River Great Ouse as a Kid.  If you do buy it you'd need to put the crossmembers and deck in across the top of the Spinny chute as this adds a fair bit of rigidity to the hull. Other problem area is the C/B case as it is plywood they had a habit of rotting or coming unstuck!  Nice boats though, first boat I ever used a spinny in.
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

How can the seller not know what it is?  If it's an RS600 how is it possibly going to convert to a hiking boat.   Odder than odd.

Some people have no idea!!

Surely if he's a dealer he should know a bit better than recommending converting a 600 proto to hiker!!

I think that I have seen this boat in Salcombe a few years ago, it looks a bit like a 600 with out racks, with a contender rig without the low boom.
