60kg is probably a tad light but i think you'll be fine if you use the diddy rig to start with and lots and lots of downhaul and kicker. The 600 is a lot more about technique than grunt, but dont expect to be able to sail it immediately.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

Hey im thinking of getting an RS600. Im 16, about 5ft 8" and 60kgs or so. Will i be too light? I wouldnt be racing it as ill be doing that in the 420 at the club etc. Id probably sail it at Dee SC. I do have trapeze experience but only as a crew.

So would i be too light? Would there be any alternatives?

 

Thanks.
