WHAT THE SAILORS ARE SAYING…

Remarkable stability and a cockpit genuinely large enough to carry an instructor and six pupils make the Venture stand out. We are very impressed.

It’s great! Spacious, good looking, sails well, easy to reef! Being able to get 8 persons in is a real plus for us as well.

RS is renowned for being meticulous with its product development, and the Venture is Exhibit A. Every component was high quality and purposeful.
