The RS Cat 16 represents a modern evolution of the recreational multihull, engineered by RS Sailing to bridge the gap between fragile performance racing cats and heavy, unresponsive rotomoulded trainers. Launched to provide a more durable alternative to the classic beach cat, the RS Cat 16 utilizes a three-layer Comptec PE3 polyethylene construction, making it nearly impervious to the cosmetic and structural damage typical of beaching on rocky shorelines. It serves as the flagship of RS Sailing’s catamaran range, sitting above its smaller siblings, the RS Cat 12 and the RS Cat 14. All three models share a distinctive "chined" hull design, which provides significant reserve buoyancy and helps prevent the "pitch-pole" tendencies often associated with older, narrow-bow catamaran designs.
