Well in that case how many BIG boats have you seen with off the boom sheeting and twin tillers?
Any one in need of quality carbon fibre work (tillers etc) at decent prices!

What about the B14? - the beds on either side are very comfortable! (For some reason most people prefer to call them wings!)

It's quite easy to fall asleep on them when drifting around waiting for wind...

Well *I* find it helps:-) After all the main is still pulling you up even when you're playing it.

One thing I think is very interesting is the RS800 bans the crew from doing the mainsheet!

I believe they do not want the RS800 to be seen as a trainer for the 49er...
