The gap in
the RS model numbers is no accident - the
single trapeze RS500 has been planned for
years.
Following extensive consultation with
sailors around the world, the exhaustive
RS500 development process has been completed
and production started in June 2006.
Speed and Handling
 Light, stiff
and easily driven - the
RS500 delivers truly
exciting 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.
Three generations of the
RS500 hull and deck design
have been evaluated. Every
element of the boat has been
worked on to add
performance, make the boat
easier to sail, reduce
complication and streamline
production. Now you can be
the judge.
The uncluttered and spacious
cockpit is class leading in
its comfort for adults and
young sailors. Low transom
design makes climbing aboard
after capsize easy and a
pivoting centreboard and
rudder make launch and
recovery safe.
For Racing
The hull
design, cockpit ergonomics
and rig size result from
extensive R & D and allow
the RS500 to be ideal for
youngsters and adult
sailors. So the RS500 will
transcend the usual age 19
break point in racing
dinghies.
Young sailors will compete
alongside adult racers. The
whole family can enjoy a
piece of the action.
For Fun
The clear
cockpit and user friendly
performance mean the RS500
will be equally at home
blasting along the beach as
it will on the race track.
Two sail size and spec
options allow you to gear
the boat according to your
size and experience.
Built To Perform
GRP composite
is essential to provide the stiffness to weight ratio to create the
RS500s crisp, responsive feel and performance. No other material can
produce the same results for a boat in this sector.
