RS700 @ HISC

The RS700 could be said to have been born at HISC as this was the home for the development and testing of the boat back in 2001.

Class Captain: Roland Smith - rs700captain@hisc.co.uk

The RS700 still holds a place at the high-performance end of the single-handed dinghy spectrum. With a large mainsail and asymmetric spinnaker, the boat requires physical and mental commitment but rewards sailing legends and mere mortals alike, in a way that only a few boats can.

Every 700 sailor remembers the learning curve associated with entering the class which makes for a tight-knit community with more experienced sailors always being willing to share advice and suggestions for newer sailors.

HISC provides one of the best sailing locations for the RS700 in the country with:
• Sheltered sailing for sailors new to the class.
• Easy launching and recovery.
• Plenty of space to allow the boat to maximize its potential.
• Sailing and racing in the bay for fun with waves.
• Full club racing calendar (Wednesday evening, Saturday, Pennant weekends in the bay)
• Windward / leeward racing (Sundays, Pennant weekends and Chichester Harbour Race week).

After 4 National Championship wins in a row, Theo Galyer has retired from the fleet, but remains at HISC offering advice and guidance to the fleet.
