RS Feva Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used RS Feva market means looking at a 12-foot doublehander that RS Sailing launched in 2004, with Paul Handley's design intent squarely on scalable junior and club sailing. The boat's rotomolded polyethylene construction is rugged and low cost to maintain, which is why program directors have favored it and why private buyers inherit a forgiving hull.
Layouts on the Used Market
The RS Feva appears in S, XL, and XL Race versions on the used market, so a buyer should match the trim level to intent. The S is the entry layout, the XL adds volume-oriented fit-out, and the XL Race targets club competition. All share the high-volume hull that keeps the boat fast and fun as crews grow, making any version a plausible trainer-to-racer path without changing platforms.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, spinnakers and asymmetric spinnakers are commonly fitted, and the self-setting gennaker is a frequently cited owner favorite that simplifies downwind sailing for new crews. Beyond those, buyers should inspect what each listing actually carries rather than assume a tier, since the brief shows no other equipment as routinely present.
What to Inspect
The Feva's rotomolded polyethylene hull is rugged, but a used example should still be checked for impact damage and UV wear typical of polyethylene dinghies. Confirm the rig is complete and the self-setting gennaker gear functions, since sailed by one to four sailors We have sailed with one to four sailors aboard, so it is very versatile implies frequent rigging cycles that wear fittings.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the used RS Feva include New Zealand and Switzerland. For a buyer, the checklist is simple: confirm version (S, XL, or XL Race), verify spinnaker or asymmetric spinnaker is present, test the self-setting gennaker, and inspect the polyethylene hull for structural and cosmetic wear.
