most rs boats that dont include trapezing r really uncomfortable in medium wind - ie not hiking out but not leaning over the leward side to heel - cos theres not much room to manoeuvre and u get bruised  or u look like a spaz cos ur moving around like uve got ants in ur pants! lol i havnt ever said that i dont think!

Sailors don't get old!!! They get a little dinghy (or skiff, or yacht...)

Nice one pondling!!

I've crewed for the first time in my life today! It was on an RS400 and I found it very comfy. Hiking out is certainly easier on the legs than a Topper and it's got so much room everywhere! I tried to helm it too - after the race... Tacking was interesting; the boat's quite wide and when you think you're on the other side, you're only half way! Apart from that, I had a great time... but I'm not sure if the helm did

Most comfortable boat to hike off has to be the flying fifteen, its like sittting in an armchair, you can hike for hours and not feel tired, its great, pitty the loads are a bit high though.
