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!! |

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. |

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.

It is indeed an express. I remember one being sailed regularly many years ago at my old club. From what I remember it used to always sail in the slow fleet, i think the handicap was 130-odd (in old money!).

I reckon keep your money, the boat is being sold by a trader as well! Unless you just want to break it or bits!

hmmm, one of my mates had an ancient 600, one of the first out the mould and it was very light but flexier than a flexy thing. he reconned if he took it out in a blow he could snap the boat in half.
