RS Venture

Versatile

• A sailing-school boat designed for sailing in a group, with very high stability.
• A boat for weekend getaways with family or friends.
• It can stay on a mooring buoy.
• Safety under way without giving up rewarding performance.
• Option to fit an outboard, which adds versatility.
• Choice of spinnaker: symmetric or asymmetric (gennaker), both optional.

Spacious

• Up to 640 kg of crew aboard.
• With the mast set well forward and an optional removable centre thwart, the cockpit is uncluttered and adapts to each use.
• With the gnav mounted above the boom, the crew has more room and sails more safely.
• Comfort and room to spare for family cruising.

Stability and Safety

• A hull of exceptional stability.
• Low freeboard: righting the boat takes less effort and the manoeuvre is safer.
• The cockpit drains itself.
• Foam inside the mast and an optional masthead float, to reduce the risk of inversion after a capsize.
• Righting lines.
• As an option, a weighted centreboard (60 kg of steel) that adds even more stability.

Stowage

• Stowage space under the side seats and under the foredeck; the aft locker is factory fitted as an option.

Robust

• GRP (glass-reinforced polyester) sandwich hull, built to last.
• Heavyweight glass fibre laminate over a 3 mm Coremat core, finished with a double gelcoat layer: that is how it stands up to the heavy use of a sailing school.
• Rubber gunwale guard around the boat, optional and factory fitted.
• Optional aluminium keel bands, which protect the underside of the hull when landing. Maintenance is kept to a minimum.

Sail and rig configuration options

• 11 m² mainsail in Dacron (standard, with reefing system) or Mylar (optional).
• 3.8 m² Dacron jib with furler as standard.
• 14 m² gennaker (asymmetric spinnaker), optional.
• Trapeze kit, optional.
