RS21 – Keelboat Sailing the RS Way

 

The RS21 responds to the need for a progressive, simple and a­ffordable solution for keelboat clubs that increasingly see the opportunity for ‑fleet ownership, league competition and training. Pay-as-you-go. Team up and do it together. The RS21 is specifically designed for fleet purchase, with attributes that will appeal to individual buyers as well.

It puts close racing over ultimate performance. Convenient ownership over complexity. It maximizes low maintenance. Comfortable ergonomics. Value. And pure sailing enjoyment. This is the boat to bring wider availability and popularity back to keelboat racing. RS Sailing’s sustainability focus has actively influenced the design, resulting in a boat built from eco-friendly materials, with multiple environmental attributes. It marks significant progress over previous generations.

Produced by the world’s leading small sailboat brand, the RS21 is high quality and a sound ­financial proposition. Realistic costs allow appealing club charter fees – or affordable investment by syndicates of sailing friends. The RS21 is a safe purchase and assured of success.

The One-Design RS21 has an IRC rating of 0.949.
