RS Aero

The RS Aero is one of the most advanced and ultra-lightweight single-handed dinghies ever produced. Since its launch in 2015, it has redefined modern performance sailing, quickly building strong international fleets and championship participation worldwide.

With an exceptionally light epoxy hull reinforced with carbon fiber in high-load areas, the RS Aero delivers a dynamic and responsive sailing experience unlike traditional single-handers. At just 66 lbs hull weight, it is easy to transport, launch, and right after capsize. The modern hull design, hard chines, and refined transom shape allow the boat to plane efficiently while maintaining stability and control.

Featuring a carbon mast and boom, carbon foils, and a contemporary sail plan, the Aero offers true high-performance sailing while remaining accessible. Multiple rig sizes allow sailors of varying weights and skill levels to enjoy the same hull platform, making it suitable for juniors, women, and men alike.

From club racing to world championships, the RS Aero provides pure, lightweight performance and a thrilling connection to the water.
