Used 49er buy and sell second-hand, ads and prices
The 49er is a one-design double skiff sailing dinghy. The Australian architect Julian Bethwaite designed it in 1996 following the 18-foot philosophy: large abseiling ladders and huge sail area. It is a double trapeze boat, fast, unstable, powerful.
49er Men's Double Skiff at the Olympics:
The 49er is the men's Olympic skiff, and it is the boat used for the events at the Paris Olympics on the waters of Marseille.
49er FX, the slightly reduced sail 49er for women's crews:
Since the Tokyo Olympics, the 49er has a version for women's double crews called the 49er FX. The hull is identical to the 49er, with sails slightly reduced to make it manageable for lighter crews. The French team, Steyaert & Picon, is currently achieving an outstanding performance on the waters of Marseille.
With a similar but more accessible program, the RS800 offers double trapeze sailing opportunities that are easier to handle.

The 49er, Olympic skiff !
The Forty Niner is a thrilling dinghy, it reaches its maximum power from 15 knots of wind. It is the big brother of the 29er they share a very ergonomic and simplistic deck plan. The construction of the 49er does not use exotic materials (carbon, kevlar) which limits the price. The mast is now made of carbon whereas for the first versions it was a mixed aluminium and fibreglass mast. Its fibreglass hull is very robust and ages very well.
It has been the Olympic skiff since the Sydney games in 2000, it is an open and mixed series but at a high level the physical aspect of this boat does not allow the female crews to compete.
49er FX for women's crews
There is a slightly smaller rigged version for women's crews at the Olympics mainly. But this slightly wiser version is also a very good boat for amateur crews.
