RS 2000

When a club or sailing school wants a two-person dinghy to make the leap from training to racing, at Proasail.com we point to the RS 2000. Born as the Laser 2000 and designed by Phil Morrison, it is today a well-established class: active racing fleets, an open-meeting circuit and championships supported by a very lively Class Association. This sailing dinghy incorporates features from the modern high-performance two-handers, such as the gennaker and the self-draining cockpit. And yet it handles with a simplicity that gives confidence to anyone still learning, while still offering lively sailing. It is no accident that the sailing programmes of the British Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force have adopted it as their training boat: it is the natural progression from learning to sail to advanced racing techniques, in sailing schools and clubs alike.
