  • RS Has Been Building the RS700 Since 2001. Not Much Has Changed to the Build Spec Over the Years, Some Strengthening Here and There but Nothing Major
    RS has been building the RS700 since 2001. Not much has changed to the build spec over the years, some strengthening here and there but nothing major. The hull and deck tooling has certainly stayed the same. 16 years later and over 350 boats built the tooling's were showing their age. Before the next batch of boats were built I thought it was a perfect opportunity to invest some time and effort to refresh the boat and to show our support to the class. We hope that current owners will be excited by the result and that current sailors and new to class will be encouraged to buy new boats. It’s worked as we have now sold the first batch of boats built this year and now half way through the second batch due to be built in the autumn. RS has over 20 years’ experience building an increasing number of different boats, from our humble beginnings we’ve learnt a lot. The RS Aero was the opportunity to bring that experience to bare on a new product in a fresh new way. We have reason to be pleased with the result, and now the RS700 is getting a bit of that fresh thinking. OK, so when I say fresh, it’s going to be the same old RS700 that we have been sailing for the past 16 years. Just so there is no jumping to the wrong conclusions, the boat is being made from the same original tooling, (well it’s been repaired and polished a bit/a lot and minor repairs have been done).

  • Information for World Sailing Committees
    Information for World Sailing Committees INTRODUCTION The RS Aero achieved the highest score in the One-Person Olympic Equipment Evaluation Report. It will always be possible for detractors to question various details, but the fact remains that the RS Aero was unanimously considered the best option by the wide range of experts involved, which speaks loudly. We realise that some World Sailing Board, Council and Committee members may not have seen detailed factors that make the RS Aero the best boat for not only Olympians but also to build the crucial youth pathway and women’s participation. A summary follows. DESIGN OVERVIEW The RS Aero philosophy is to prioritise ultra-light weight, performance and practicality to produce a simple, refined and durable boat with rig sizes to suit sailors between 35 and 100kg. The RS Aero weighs about the same as an Optimist. This gives exceptional levels of responsiveness and user friendliness - afloat and ashore – for youths, women and men. It brings dinghy sailing closer to the simplicity and excitement of board sailing. The hull was designed to minimise the effect of different sailor weights. Topsides are relatively vertical and chines just touches the water with the lightest sailor aboard – with a heavier sailor the hull sits slightly lower in the water, while the waterplane shape remains about the same to minimise drag difference. RS Aero – rig sizes: RS Aero 5 RS Aero 6 (new rig developed and proposed for women’s Olympic rig) - see Appendix 1 below RS Aero 7 RS Aero 9 RS Sailing is exclusively licensed to manufacture and sell the RS Aero and is also the trademark holder, so there are no conflicts or complications due to multiple parties.
