RS Aero

The RS Aero is the result of three years of design and development, testing four different hull variations and numerous rig, foil and layout options.
The result is a boat that completely re-sets the standard of pure exhilaration in a simple single-hander. This boat is the most technically advanced in its sector. Remarkably easy to handle, exceptionally user friendly on shore, virtually anyone can lift the boat onto a car roof-rack. It can be rigged in moments.
Astonishingly, the RS Aero hull weighs less than an Optimist at just 30kg.
There are three options (RS Aero 5,7&9) which will typically suit:
- Youths /RS Aero 5
- Women & light men /RS Aero 7
- Men /RS Aero 9
