RS21 48North Boat Test

May 2, 2019

Head to the latest issue of 48North to read a two spread article on the RS21 boat test.

Joe Cline joined our friends at West Coast Sailing for the test sail, “The boat jumped on the step, skimming atop the water with notably little bow wave. It was plain fun to drive.”

If you’re interested in sailing the RS21 there will be a demo day, hosted by West Coast Sailing, in Seattle at Sail Sand Point on May 18 and 19. Get in touch with Jake Sorosky by emailing jakes@westcoastsailing.net to book your free place!
