Over the past three Olympic cycles the 49er has evolved into a finely tuned boat that is nicely balanced in all conditions with a rig that is able to be adjusted for best performance in each windspeed and sea state.

A perfectly tuned 470 is a delight to sail.

Many sailors will sail for years without experiencing a perfectly balanced boat.

Perfect balance makes the boat easier to sail consistently fast- and allows you to spend more time with your ‘head out of the boat’ working on tactics and strategy.
