RS Venture

A benchmark in our adventure and training range, the RS Venture is an award-winning dinghy that redefines versatility in sailing. Designed for families, explorers, and training programs alike, the RS Venture features a massive self-draining cockpit that comfortably carries up to eight sailors. 

Experience responsive handling and impressive performance that make every outing exciting, while a wide range of customisation options ensures the boat can be tailored to your needs. Choose between a standard (S) or ballasted (SE) centreboard with the RS Venture. Or opt for the lifting keel version (see RS Venture Connect) for even greater flexibility. 

With exceptional stability, generous storage, and space for an outboard motor, the RS Venture is perfectly suited for estuaries, lakes and coastal adventures. Wherever you sail, adventure awaits!

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.
