Cat 12
Simple, fun and fast. The RS CAT12 brings buoyancy and easy handling back to the beach, bursting onto the scene as the cheerful little sibling of the RS CAT16 and RS CAT14. This pocket rocket keeps many of the dynamic qualities of its big brothers while stripping things back to basics so beginners can start sailing with confidence. The simplified design includes a furling jib, a reefing mainsail and a masthead float, keeping safety to the fore while learning to sail. Forward grab handles and kick-up rudders make launching and returning to the shore as easy as possible, and the whole boat can be lifted easily thanks to RS's patented hull channel. Tough and durable, the hull itself is extremely robust, made from rotomoulded PE1. For added versatility, the bows feature removable, replaceable bumpers – an innovation unique in the CAT range. For comfort, the self-draining decks form concave seats in the hulls. The trampoline and seating area accommodate up to 3 crew. Optional extras include a single trapeze, a great way for newcomers to get comfortable on the wire and push performance at a fun, exciting pace. Ideal for beginners or young families wanting to venture out on the water, the RS CAT 12 completes the versatile RS CAT trilogy of high-performance catamarans.
