Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new RS sailing dinghy and thank you for choosing an RS
product. We are confident that you will have many hours of great sailing and racing in this truly
excellent design. The RS fleet are exciting boats to sail and offer fantastic performance. This manual

This manual will not instruct you in boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first boat, or if you
are changing to a type of craft that you are not familiar with, for your own safety and comfort, please
ensure that you have adequate experience before assuming command of the craft. If you are unsure,
your RS Dealer or your National sailing federation – for example, the Royal Yachting Association –
will be able to advise you of a local sailing school or a competent instructor.

the boat.
