RS600 capsize

Its mostly usual second hand stuff, but two things would look out for are a decent sail.  don't worry if its a little off coloured as they stay competitive for most people for a good 5 seaasons unless you are aiming at the podium.

At 60kg would be looking for a superspar mast not angel as you'll need to reef it to get the most out it above about 15 knots.  the angel mast had an aluminium sleeve and tended to seize in the mast; there probably are not many left now anyway but stay clear if you can.  check that the two parts come apart easily and them keep them lightly vaselined.

Get yoursellf joined on the RS600 yahoo user group and you'll find loads of stuff on there and plenty of advise.  happy hunting.

Mark 

Make sure you check the screws are secure in the rudder pintle 

Check the gunwhale for any cracks or delamination 

Check the kicker U bolt as this becomes loose over time and may need some surgery to fix

The back of the daggerboard slot is always subject to some bashing so check the state of that too.

I cant think of anything else off the top of my head but im sure the others can give you some more help.

What sort of budget are you looking at for a 600? Depending on how much you have to spend, the last boat they made is currently for sale which is rumoured to have spend the last 4 years in a garage, so it is essentially a brand new boat but at a very very good second hand price.

 

Especially if the mast is in the mud
