The RS Aero represents a paradigm shift in the single-handed dinghy market, designed specifically to challenge the long-standing dominance of heavier, traditional designs like the Laser (ILCA). Launched in 2014 by RS Sailing, the Aero was the result of a rigorous three-year development cycle aimed at creating the ultimate user-friendly performance boat. Its most striking characteristic is its weight; at approximately 30kg (66lbs), the hull is lighter than an Optimist, allowing for a level of responsiveness and ease of transport that was previously unheard of in a production monohull. This lightweight construction is achieved through a sophisticated carbon fiber and epoxy resin layup with a foam core, ensuring the boat remains stiff and competitive over time.
