Award-winning sailboats from RS Sailing

The RS Feva is part of an award-winning range of sailboats from RS Sailing that use the latest developments in construction and rig technology to produce boats that are more fun to sail, easier to handle and faster. With a heritage in flat out racing classes developed in the UK, the RS range now also includes boats which are ideal for beginners, families, clubs and schools.

A network of international contacts ensures that RS sailboats are available wherever you are in the world.

. . . but the RS Sailing experience is more than just about the 'hardware'; it's the enthusiasm, dedication and cameraderie of RS sailors - the 'software' - which makes sailing and racing RS sailboats unique.

Awesome events from the RS Association

In the UK the RS Association comprises a group of RS Owners Clubs representing each of eleven RS Classes, run by voluntary committees (by the sailors, for the sailors). The RS Association runs approximately 140 events each year including RS Championships and RS Racing Circuits - many the envy of the dinghy world - and organises social events, race coaching, and maintains the Class Rules (essential for one-design racing to be fair and interesting, and critical to upholding the value of the boats).

International Owners Clubs are being established and increasingly RS sailors worldwide are enjoying the benefits of membership.

The worlds best selling two-person sailboat in recent years, an ISAF International Class, winner of Dinghy of the Year in the USA, Coup de Coeurs in France, an RYA Recognised Junior class…the list of honours goes on and on. The RS Feva is the new benchmark in small sailboats.

• Big cockpit and high boom make the Feva really comfortable for youngsters and adults.

Single handed or with a crew

• The Feva is the perfect size and has rig options that allow easy handling by one sailor, family crews or friends.
• High volume hull makes light work of heavy sailors.

Novice to racer

• Not only confidence inspiring and very easy to sail, the Feva is also the fastest of her type.

More user friendly

• The mainsail track and halyard mean the sail can be hoisted and dropped, making the boat easier to handle ashore and prolonging the life of the sail.
• The mast can be stepped without the mainsail, so is literally child's play.
• Two part mast and boom stow within the length of the boat for easy transport.
• Strong, floating daggerboard and lifting rudder systems.

Easiest way into sailing

• Full range of Feva accessory options including trolleys, trailer & covers.
• Best value sailing clothing packages.

Most durable

• Our Comptec PE3 construction system uses computerised "in-mould" temperature and cooling control to take rotomoulded polyethylene hull construction to a new level.
• This state of the art process control ensures maximum strength to weight ratio.
• Based on the well established three layer system:
  • Tough outer skin
  • Middle foam layer for stiffness
  • Inner skin to stabilise the structure
• The strongest attachment for the fittings, provided by brass inserts moulded into the hull structure.
• Encapsulated buoyancy in the foam layer makes Comptec PE3 boats unsinkable.

Lowest maintenance
