Performance and design
It is a single hander with trapeze and racks, and a hydrofoil system similar to the International Moth. The Moth's ultra light weight have made them unsuitable for heavier sailors, the RS600FF was to an extent inspired by the Moth, but being bigger and suited to heavier crews was "made over" despite it being a one design class.New build
Differences between a brand new RS600FF and a brand new RS600 are: * Hydrofoil centerboard, with modified centerboard case * Hydrofoil Rudder, with modified rudder gantry * Wand system to trim the daggerboard foil fitted to the bow * Carbon/Epoxy hull as opposed to the Glass Fibre/Epoxy hull * Lighter weight * Hi aspect sail * Higher trolley to incorporate the hydrofoils retractedConversions
Conversion are old (or new) conventional RS600's with modifications. The main difference is the hydrofoils: * Hydrofoil Centerboard, with modified centerboard case * Hydrofoil Rudder, with modified rudder gantry * Wand system to trim the daggerboard foil fitted to the bow Changing the hull material is not possible, however even if the following are missing the boat would still be considered an FF * Hi aspect sail * Higher trolley to incorporate the hydrofoils retracted The RS600 conversion's are reversible, they can be taken off to convert the boat back.References
