RS Aira

Versatile

• Sitting in comfort and enjoying good sailing performance are not mutually exclusive on the RS Aira
• Up to 6 adults in a big cockpit that drains itself
• Family outings, beginners at the sailing school or club racing: all three uses suit it
• No need to take it out of the water: it can stay on a mooring buoy
• Stable under way, without compromising performance
• Retractable TEMO Pod Drive 1000 electric motor (one 2.3 kW battery) or Pod Drive 3000 (two batteries), optional
• With the optional 28 m² furling asymmetric gennaker, the RS Aira gets up on the plane and adds speed offwind

Comfort

• Room for the whole family to spend the day aboard without being cramped
• The cockpit edge is rounded along the walkway, and the mast is set well forward
• High boom: less sail in front of your eyes and a better view to leeward
• Padded backrest and seat: the cushions rest on benches that fit them well
• If the outing includes lunch aboard, the optional swivelling cockpit table turns the cockpit into a dining room, at sunset too
• Whatever is not needed while sailing goes in the cabin, which helps keep the cockpit clear; the cushions also fit inside for an overnight stay
• Towels, clothes or food stay safe from the water in two deep lockers built into the cockpit sides

Simple rig control

• Square-top mainsail profile, as you would expect from a modern rig
• The mainsail is fully battened from luff to leech, RS Sailing's choice with performance and sail durability in mind
• To shorten sail, the mainsail carries two reefs with the Selden single-line system
• An 8 m² jib that is handled without difficulty

Sail configuration
