*Here*  is a link to the RS800 changes. They will be available for the whole class as far as i can tell as they say there is no benefit to performance.
Contender GBR 362
Osprey 1318 - IVplay

In actual fact the changes arnt even as radical as that!  Where the sides came vertically down into the boat they're now at a very slight inward angle (hope that makes sense) and the kick bars in the boat are removable or attachable as whatever is wished.  Ive had some pics on my comp for a while, i spose you'll all be wanting to see them.  Give me a while to get it sorted and i'l try and post them.

Will the mainsheet system stay the same or be updated to the off the boom 'nothing to the floor' system with twin tillers like the 49er, I14, cherub etc.?

I think its still going to be taken by the helm from the floor as its rigged like that in the pics but i stand to be corrected.  Im sure Yachts and yachting will have an aritcle detailing the olympic trial boats and how the trials went.

The pictures of the RS800 shown are the changes to original RS800. Prototype(sorry if i messed that up)
I believe the olympic RS800 is a seperate project.
