The Ross 780 is a highperformance trailer sailer designed by renowned New Zealand yachtsman Murray Ross in the early 1980s. Built primarily by New Zealand yards such as Austin Ross Yachts and Hopwood Boats, with licensed production also occurring in Australia, the 780 was engineered to bridge the gap between a competitive sports boat and a familyfriendly cruiser. Its hallmark is a lightdisplacement hull capable of planing under spinnaker while remaining legally trailerable, a combination that has secured its status as a staple of Australasian club racing for decades.
