RS200 Tuning Guide – Ian Pickard – 28th June 2002

The RS200 is not a “tweaky” boat, so a reasonable set-up will give good boatspeed. The competitive crew weight ranges from about 18 to 23 stone, and the appropriate set-up will depend on your all-up weight. I’ve broken this guide down into static set-up – what you adjust ashore before racing – and dynamic set-up – what you can adjust while racing. Small differences in the set-up will not have a huge affect on boatspeed so, once you’re happy with the basic tune of your boat, spend as much time on the water as you can with a regular crew – ideally with a training partner in a second boat.
