There’s nothing quite as satisfying as folding back your top cover at the start of the season and working out what bimbles you’re going to take on to give you that edge on the racecourse.
Bimble wizard and RS800 legend Tom Morris (Mozzy Sails), who’s supported by Allen Brothers, did just that and shared his latest tweaks for the 2024 season. Full credit to Tom Morris for these bimbles and the video, we love that he’s happy to share his knowledge across the RS800 fleet!
We’ve broken down all of Tom’s upgrades into bite-sized links to the RS Sailing Store for you to get stuck into. Don’t forget that RS Sailors Club members receive 15% off all Allen Hardware, if you’re not a member yet, it’s completely free to sign up!
