RS Toura
calcActive())">
Between the RS Quest and the RS Venture in the RS range there is a gap, and the RS Toura fills it: a 4.63 m sailing dinghy that takes up to 7 crew. At Proasail.com we recommend it to sailing schools and families who want the freedom to go sailing without worrying about the hull: it is rotomoulded polyethylene and built to last. Designed by RS Sailing and Jo Richards, it pairs a very roomy interior with the stability that lets the crew explore coastal waters with peace of mind.

- With the mast set well forward and a fixed centre thwart, the cockpit is huge and can be organised flexibly.
- Wide side seats plus the centre thwart.
- Room and comfort for cruising with the family.
Easy-to-use foils
- GRP pivoting centreboard.
- The aluminium rudder blade is built for heavy use.
- Rudder with Lift & Lock system operated from the tiller: the blade locks both up and down.
Stability and safety
- Exceptional hull stability.
- The freeboard is low, so climbing aboard from the water takes less effort and recovery after a capsize is safer.
- Self-draining cockpit.
- To reduce the risk of inversion after a capsize: foam inside the mast and, as an option, a masthead float.
- Helm and crew have grab handles moulded into the hull, so getting back aboard after a capsize is easier.
Easy rig control
- Furling jib: launching and recovery are safer and more comfortable.
- Reefing mainsail, to shorten sail when the wind gets up.
- Aluminium alloy mast.
- With the halyards and boom controls run externally, they stay in view and are easier to maintain.
- The sails are cut in Dacron, a cloth designed to withstand many hours of use.
