RS-500 dinghy version S

ISAF status and twice named Boat of the Year
Fast, cool and exciting double-handed dinghy with a trapeze.
Good circuit of events in Europe with an excellent atmosphere between practitioners of all nationalities.

The RS500 is a modern double-handed dinghy with trapeze and asymmetrical spinnaker – halfway between a dinghy and a single scull, it is becoming increasingly popular with an excellent regatta program and a lively social scene.

The contagious popularity of the RS500 has led to the creation of a huge European circuit for young people and for those who are still young in spirit!
The volume of the hull and the adjustments of the rig open the door to a wide range of different sizes as well as to a fast and comfortable navigation. The boat is quick to rig and forgiving on the water. By brilliantly combining liveliness, maneuverability, racing and an affordable approach, we understand the success of the RS500.
