RS 500

“The best combination of speed, user friendliness and price currently on the market. It really is that simple.”

Light, stiff and easily driven, the RS500 delivers electric performance with remarkably easy handling. Twice winners of the “Sailboat of the Year” award, the RS design team has a record second to none and the RS500 marks a real step forward in its sector.

Every element of the boat has been worked on to add performance, make the boat easier to sail and streamline production. The RS500 will be equally at home blasting along the beach or racing around the track.

Hull
• Extensive R&D allows the 500 to be ideal for youngsters and adult sailors, so the boat will transcend the usual age 19 break point in racing dinghies.

• Uncluttered and spacious self draining cockpit – class leading in its comfort for adults and young sailors.
• Low transom design makes climbing aboard after capsize easy.
• Adjustable helmsman’s toestraps. Crew toe strap option.
