Valentines Special: RS Sailing Boats… And If We Would Date Them

February 10, 2026

Valentine’s Day has us feeling a little unhinged – and looking at boats the way we probably shouldn’t. So, in the spirit of love, poor decisions, and sailing-induced personality projection, we asked the important question: if RS Sailing boats were people… would we date them? Red-flag rockets through to marriage-material all-rounders; here’s our completely scientific, definitely unbiased take on which RS boats get our hearts, which get friend-zoned, and which ones we should absolutely not text back.

 

💔 RS Aero

Hot, fast, minimal effort.

Would absolutely date. Might ruin our life but worth it.

 

💖 RS Tera

The school crush.

Sweet, innocent, and forever nostalgic. Adorable to look back on.

 

💘 RS Feva

Fun, loyal, always down for a good time.

Golden retriever energy. Immediate yes.

 

💖 2000

Reliable. Supportive.

Big “meets the parents” energy.

 

💖 RS21

Confident. Athletic. Turns heads when they walk in.

Would date and brag about it.

 

💔 RS CAT14

Holiday fling. Flirty, playful, and absolutely living in the moment. So much fun when it’s breezy, but disappears the second things get serious.

Would date on holiday. Would not move cities for them.

 

💘 RS100

Demands commitment, rewards effort.

Would date – but only once we’re emotionally stable, physically fit, and ready to be challenged.

 

💘 RS200

First real love. Fast, a little chaotic, and everything feels intense.

Might switch crews, might break our heart, but we’ll never forget them.

 

💘 RS300

Quietly intense. Our experimental era.

Doesn’t say much, but when it does, we feel it. A bit niche, deeply rewarding.

 

💘 RS500

High performance, a bit spicy, keeps us on our toes.

Would date but only if communication is strong.

 

💔 RS600

Fast. Wild. Zero chill.

An absolute thrill for a moment… but emotionally unavailable and slightly terrifying.

We’d survive the experience, but we wouldn’t plan a future together.

 

💘 RS700

Chaotic. Demanding. Addictive.

I can fix them (I can’t).

 

💔 RS800

Impressive. Intimidating. Out of our league.

Would admire from afar.

 

💔 RS Neo

Nice. Sensible. Too sensible.

We’d be better as friends.

 

💖 RS Venture Connect

Calm, inclusive, makes everyone feel welcome.

Would date and feel emotionally safe.

 

💖 RS Aira 22

Good company. The one who suggests a sail and brings the blanket, the snacks, and the thermos. Effortlessly wholesome, never in a rush, happiest when everyone’s included and relaxed.

Would absolutely date. Would absolutely grow old with them.

 

💖 RS400

Marriage material, no hesitation.

Stable, dependable, and there for us through the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
