Get a ride! Test Centre RS Sailing opens in Carnac

The new RS Test Centre opened in Carnac on July the 5th. You have two months to go to the Carnac Yacht Club for a free trial of one of the RS dinghies/cat, on your own or with the family. If you enjoy the experience and want to get more time on the water, boats are then available for charter.

The RS Aero, new in 2014, will be there.

In partnership with the Carnac Yacht Club, the world known dinghy manufacturer RS Sailing, keeps innovating with running a test centre in the magic bay of Quiberon.

Most of the range will be there. A dinghy specialist will welcome you and take you out for a ride.

A good way of discovering in depth this versatile range.

7 units will be in test for youngsters, family, friends and keen sailors

RS Feva, the easy access, first steps with asymmetric.

RS Venture, all-rounder, stable, lots of room, ideal for family week-end on the water.

RS Cat 16, get the trill of a modern multihull.

RS 100, asymmetric single hander, reasonably accessible (no trapeze).

RS 500, just about to be a skiff, the 500 is ideal to get wet and have sensations.

RS 800, a proper skiff! Our skipper will help to discover being on the wire!

Last but not least: the RS Aero, just launched, only 45kg, no wasted time, only fun. The 21st century single hander.


Try, charter, adopt

After a first free sailing session, you can charter a boat with or without our specialist.

Sailing kit, information, tips, will be given by the sailing centre in the Yacht Club.

Just arrive with your enthusiasm and energy to discover the range.

RS Sailing, just have fun... easily

For a long time, RS dinghy was created with passion. A passion combined in a high-tech design, to produce boats which offer a maximum of pleasure and performance at sea, for a minimum of constraints on the ground.

Traditionally constituted by lively and competitive dinghies, the range RS grew rich of accessible boats to everybody (beginners, families and sailing clubs), benefiting from all the know-how of high-tech skiffs.

"We hope that your RS will bring you so much pleasure as we had to design and build her."
