With single-handed sailing looking more popular than ever this summer, we thought we take the opportunity to shout about the spritely single-handers that we have in the RS Range; from your first adventures as a junior RS Tera sailor, gliding downwind in an RS Aero or to full ‘beast mode’ flat wiring an RS700 – there’s genuinely something for everyone. But which one is the best for you? We’ve listed these with ability in mind – fun guaranteed to be had in all; RS Tera – Fantastic junior boat, 2 different sized rigs, fast and fun way to get into sailing RS Zest – Great leisure all rounder, single-handed bliss, with the ability to add a jib and crew (if you want them) RS Neo – Intermediate sailors dream, carbon rig with all the gadgets and a durable rotomolded hull RS Aero – Beautifully simple, lightweight, modern, carbon rig, 3 rig sizes, thriving class association RS100 – Sleek lines, exhilarating hiking single-hander with gennaker. Great Class RS700 – Weapon of a skiff, trapeze, kite, epic racing and an awesome Class! Not for the faint-hearted Joking aside, the RS700 really isn’t for the faint-hearted! Take a look at the boats in more detail on our website. If you’re still unsure which one of these beauties fits your sailing dreams, get in touch with the team, they LOVE talking about boats.
All of the 500m World Speed Sailing Records that have been set since 1988. Paul Larsen on Sail Rocket 2 still holds the record at an average of 65.45 kts over half a kilometre, but there are a couple of teams that are challenging for the honours. The current target? 80 knots. ▫️ Do you think they can do it? Which do you think was the most impressive record breaker? ▫️ Was it Paul Larsen smashing the previous record by almost 10 knots? Or maybe Alain Thébault, the first guy over 50 knots? All of these guys must have nerves of steel. Or they're crazy. ▫️ #world #speed #sailing #record #nerves
