Undiluted
pleasure - the RS Elite is fast but puts
delightful manners and tactical racing above
sheer speed and adrenaline. A discerning
sailor's displacement keelboat that will be
equally at home fleet or match racing.
Minimal
maintenance, comfortable sailing, the
ability to be raced by men and women of
virtually all ages and remarkably low
purchase and campaign costs make the Elite
all about enjoyment.
The first
major new keelboat class in
her sector for years, the
Elite exceeds expectations.
 In our quest to develop a
keelboat that offers
undiluted sailing pleasure
we defined three crucial
goals - great looks -
beautiful handling - maximum
convenience.
Great looks
Whether it is the first time
that you first see your
boat, or the hundredth time
you look at the photo on the
office wall, a good-looking
boat gives pride of
ownership.
Designed by Phil Morrison
and developed by the RS
team, the RS Elite turns
heads wherever she goes.
Beautiful handling
Finger light steering,
perfect tracking and masses
of stability make the Elite
a joy to sail. And a boat in
balance is boat that can be
easily driven to surprising
speeds.
A fine bow, long narrow
hull, balanced rudder and
easily controllable rig
ensure the Elite puts a
smile on your face from the
moment you hoist the sails.
Maximum Convenience
 Shallow
draft & symmetrical
spinnaker
- allow the Elite to be
competitively raced as a
class or on handicap, just
about anywhere.
Low
maintenance
- means more time on the
water. Solid GRP
construction - encapsulated
bulb keel - simple systems.
Three crew
-
makes putting a racing crew
together easy. In fact the
handling systems, weight
tolerant design, Class Rules
and spacious cockpit allow a
choice of two, three or four
sailors. So from two mates
to a young family, many
options are possible and
competitive.
One Design
- ensures that Elite racing
will be close and tactical.
You'll win on the water, not
at the bank. Strict
production controls and
Class Rules ensure top
performance straight out of
the box.
Self
draining and unsinkable
Easy to
tow
- behind a medium size car.
Low cost
- exceptional value for a
boat of this type.
