The RS Aero is the most technically advanced, exhilarating, and fun sailboat available.

  • It's incredibly light - with a hull weight of 66 lbs - the boat literally "lift's off," when you take it sailing! It's half the weight of other boats in its size range.
  • It has a carbon rig, beautiful foils, and a very modern sail-plan.
  • The boat in its entirety with the elegant hull, and deck covers, foil bags, spar bag, and other accessories makes it the best available "kit."
  • There are three rig sizes available which enable youth, adult male, and females to enjoy the ride.
  • There's an established North American class association with a full event schedule. There's thousands of RS Aeros worldwide and well over 500 in the US.
