RS 500

The RS500 delivers fantastic value and go-fast grins in a snappy, easily driven skiff. The double-hander is quick and balanced upwind, and its gennaker provides extra horsepower when sailing deeper angles; an optional second set of trapeze wires can be added if a crew is struggling to keep the boat flat.

Details

The RS500 is a fantastic planing platform that the whole family can enjoy thanks to its sturdy hull construction and its (optional) dual sailplans: bend-on the smaller, more manageable Dacron sails for training days or for heading out in a breeze with a featherweight crew, or break out the higher-performance Mylar sails for a spin around the racecourse or for days when your crew weight can handle the breeze.

With a maximum crew capacity of 315 pounds, the RS500 is ideal for parents and children, mixed crews, couples, or serious-minded sailing partners in pursuit of National or World Championship titles.

Powerful 100-square-foot Mylar mainsail is great in light winds and tough enough to tackle the big breezes.	Manageable, 80-square-foot Mylar mainsail is well-suited to smaller-sized crews.
37-square-foot jib adds upwind grins.	Easily trimmed 31-square-foot jib makes short work of uphill sailing.
Extra sail area is ideal for bigger sailors or for sailing in lighter air.	Smaller sailplan is ideal for juniors or for heavy-air adventures.
