I don't think the 200 is that smooth - I find it much tippier than the 400 (but then I am on the big size for it) |

You're right Tim, 505 is very smooth indeed, but the FD has it beat, probably due to a bit of extra weight plus an extra 3 foot of length. Smoother than a mink-lined codpiece! In fact, the word smooth is not enough, need to add a few o's - smooooooth! Neil |

No FD? No Comment!

Last time i looked i'm pretty sure a tornado had more than one hull.... As for smoothness the 505 has gotte be up there. Anything with a hull shape that clean and flowing has gotta be smoother than the proverbial babies bottom! |

Merlin Rocket. Of course, Phil Morrison designed a lot of those too at one time.

What is the 'smoothest' dinghy you have had the pleasure of sailing. My definition of smooth? Easy motions, not sailing on a knife edge but, equally, not totally unresponsive to crew inputs. I consider the RS400 to be the smoothest dinghy I have sailed, but then I haven't sailed many.
P.S. Cats not included as this is the dinghy section and I think they are all smoother anyway! |
