The RS Neo – making sailing accessible, affordable and exciting!

You are past the point where you want to sail together four up as a family, your kids are teenagers, you are reluctantly starting to accept that they can helm better than you can and you are confident that any amount of time hauled up within the confines of a dinghy together will end in world war three.

How do you keep their passion alive for sailing? You are realist, you know they are not going to go to the Olympics but you love the idea of them keeping a toe in and developing their sailing skills in years to come.

You need an exciting single-hander that the whole family can use. Easy to rig, minimal maintenance, a well cut sail, flexible rig that actually adjusts when you pull your controls on and performance that inspires you and your kids. Something that the kids, Mum and Dad can all have some fun with on the water. A single-hander than celebrates all your individual sailing ambitions and keeps you together as a family.

Have you considered the RS Neo?
