470 (class racing yachts)

"470" - a light planing dinghy sailing boat - a double with a trapezoid, designed in 1963 by the French designer Andre Cornu. Then plastic was a completely new material in sports shipbuilding and, in fact, “470 ″ is one of the first classes that was originally designed as a plastic boat.

In those years, the Flying Dutchman , which had a huge number of settings and devices, was a deuce at the Olympic Games. This made the Dutchman a rather expensive dinghy. "Seventy" was easier, cheaper and more affordable.

How the Olympic class “470 ″ debuted at the 1976 Games .“ 470 ″ and the “Flying Dutchman” in twos are about the same as “Laser” and “Finn” alone. The Flying Dutchman is more complex, the crew needs a heavier and more athletic crew. For example, only clewed one can weigh 100-110 kg. In “470 ″ you can successfully perform with a total crew weight of 110-145 kg.

Thanks to this, the 470 ’sailing dinghy has gained popularity among women and, since the 1988 Seoul Games, has been performing at the Summer Olympics as a female deuce.

The price of a customs boat in Russia in 2017 reaches 2.4 million rubles.
