It’s 6 years since the RS Aero won the 2024 Olympic Men’s and Women’s One Person Dinghy Equipment trials

Over half a decade on it’s a hotly contested topic, but we’re still rightly so proud of the RS Aero and the team at RS that made such a glowing review possible! The RS Aero Class is thriving, and thousands of RS Aero owners are racing around the globe, relishing all the features that make this boat truly special.

 

One of the most interesting summaries by the Evaluation Panel was point 4.6 Quality Evaluation, where they concluded:

 

“RS Aero’s finished product exceeded all others in terms of quality and durability. The hardware and systems are well designed to function easily for the sailor and are proven in international competition. The spars are built to a specification and quality control standard that is producing consistent equipment for this international class. The lightweight hull is engineered with modern materials and modern composite building expertise bringing consistency of manufacture that is performing in the current marketplace. These have yet to experience Olympic competition however their World Championships were held in 2018 in high winds and waves at the London 2012 Olympic Venue with no breakage reported. The class has single source of supply for all parts. The hull production is single source in a high technology composite facility which is not exclusively building boats”.
