The RS Elite represents a sophisticated departure from RS Sailing’s rotomoulded dinghy roots, manifesting as a 24foot (7.4m) highperformance keelboat that emphasizes speed, elegance, and tactical precision. Launched in 2004 and designed by the prolific Phil Morrison, the Elite was conceived to bridge the gap between the athletic intensity of a dinghy and the refined stability of a modern keelboat. It features a slender, lowdisplacement hull with a deep fin keel and a heavy lead bulb, providing a "modern classic" silhouette that prioritizes hydrodynamic efficiency over internal volume. Built using a foamcore GRP sandwich construction, the boat is exceptionally light for its length—displacing approximately 930kg—which allows it to be easily trailered and launched via a slipway, a logistical advantage often missing in the sportsboat category.
