- YES! WE HAVE MONOHULLS HERE FOR YOU TO TRY!!
OPTimist
Designed for young sailors up to a weight of 55kgs. The Optimist is the most popular youth boat in the world.
It's a great choice of boat for kids to learn to sail on - very forgiving, simply and easy to handle.
TERA
more user friendly, comfortable and modern than the Optimist is the RS Tera. This is another youth boat which can easily take sailors of up to 70kgs. It's very easy to sail, has a sporty feel and comes up dry after a capsize.
QUBA
One of the best boats ever designed for beginners is the RS QUBA. It's part of the evolution that started with the Laser Pico. The Quba offers much more space in the cockpit so even tall adult sailors will find it comfortable to sail.
The Quba has reletively high aspect foils which make the handling and performance exceptional in this type of dinghy.
ZEST
The RS Zest really is the pinnacle of beginner or fun sailing dinghies. It's the most recent design from RS, featuring an easier to manage pivoting centreboard and innovative handles on the underside of the hull, making it much more user freindly in the event of a capsize.
LASER
What ever your level of dinghy sailing, the Laser appeals to everyone. Three different sail sizes make the Laser the perfect choice for all sizes and weights of sailor.
The handling is very responsive, and the performance is very satisfying, even in light winds.
When it's windy, fast reaching a Laser really is some of the best uncomplicated fun that you can have on a monohull.
AERO
The RS Aero has totally redesigned singlehanded monohull sailing to deliver the best possible experience.
Half the weight of a Laser, the Aero gets going in even the lightest wind, with three sizes of rig available it's a great choice for sailors of all weight.
It really hits the right balance between user freindliness and performance.
100
With it's ultra modern looks, the RS 100 is a hiking single hander with spinnaker to add a lot of spice to your downwind legs. If you're an experienced dinghy sailor who relishes a challenge then this could be the boat for you.
FEVA
For youth or lightweight crews, the RS Feva is one of the most fun double handed boats to sail.
She's got a plastic hull, simple rig - quite similar to the Zest and Quba but the added jib and spinnaker make the Feva a barrel of good times, even single handed if you're up for the challenge.
200
The most high performance double handed hiking dinghies in the fleet. The 200 appeals to dinghy sailors who enjoy the more technical side of sailing.
2k
Undoubtedly one of the best dinghies for 2 or 3 people at any level. From complete beginners to advanced sailors wanting to refine their skills, the 2000 is a great choice.
Vision
The Vision from RS is very similar in performance and specification to the RS2000, It's slightly heavier and bigger making it more stable.
29er
The ultimate youth double handed skiff with big spinnaker and trapeze.
500
Available with two different sizes of sail, the 500 is the modern version of a double handed dinghy with spinnaker and trapeze. Being more modern makes the 500 extremely user freindly in all wind strengths.
800
Oh yes. Almost certainly the best of the fleet for the experienced fleet.
The 800 is a double handed skiff with twin trapeze, racks and large assymetric spinnaker.
49er
The Ultimate double handed skiff. If you want the ultimate challenge then this is the one.

Thanks for the rundown on your mono-hauls! Adding a Fulcrum Rocket to your fleet would be a nice addition.,
Thanks for the idea!
Nice set of boats
Yes, we're very lucky to have the range.
what about europe dinghy yes it is a bit hard to sail but its faster and lighter than a laser also since they are older its cheap
That would be a good choice to have in the fleet - I'll keep looking for a good one.
I was out there with an Aero 5 and then the wind increased above 6 Bft. . It was a lot of fun.
Oh yeah! The Aero is such a great boat.
I would enjoy a video on rs800 or 49er in the breeze just to see a little more diversity of boats :)
I'll see what I can do.
Id love to see you sailing all of them :D
I will see what I can do
@JoyriderTV will you sail the optimist?
Monohulls to sail is fun too, sometimes i could sail with a RS2000....but for me...there is one hull missed 🥰🥰🥰
Ha! Yes, agreed!
Hi! As always, wonderfully nice video!
Would it be possible to upload a video about the process of getting ready the RS2000 to sail, including the asymetric? Having quite a hard time here with hoisting and taking down the damm thing and I suspect it may be related with the rigging.
OK, i'll take a look at it.
@@JoyriderTV thanks!!!!
Great advertising for RS. Obviously not for free.
We get a discount but that's all.
Nice boats!! Joe, please do a video with the RS Aero in some good wind. I’ve wanted to try one of those for a while but haven’t had the opportunity yet.
Oh yes, great plan.
Would any of these be nice to cruise on or all they all very aggressive boats? I kinda want something super simple to take in / out of water that is not a choir to sail and if possible not super wet.
For solo sailing the RS Zest is the one. For 2 3 or 4 people the RS 2000 is a really good boat, very stable and spacious.
Tyvm for the reply, appreciate it. Will have a look at the RS Zest :D @@JoyriderTV
What! No Snarks? 😁
You don't get so many in these parts
never seen a 29er with cloth sails
We had them made to be more durable
So disappointing. Heavy plastic SMODs. Where are the Moths, the Payne Mortlock Canoes, the IC10s, the Fireballs? They are the boats from which the greats come because you need to really understand them and tweak them to make them fly.
These are the boats of a sailing holiday centre where the boats are used by a wide variety of sailors.
I agree that the classes you mentioned are great for experienced sailors, unfortunately they wouldn't last here.
Maybe i should change the title.
I know this is bordering on sacrilegious but i have to say it - the Opti is garbage. Sure the class is amazing and the opportunities for kids to race at an elite level are beyond any other class but it doesn't change the fact that it sails like crap and if you dump, you find yourself in a bathtub of water with no ability to self bail. The Opti gets a lot of kids racing but it's equally responsible for getting a lot kids to quit sailing for good.
Agreed - just sailing with your feet constantly in a puddle is enough to put most kids off!
The RS Tera is a much better choice - and much more popular with the kids that are coming out here.
O'pen Skiff a better option?
