The RS500 serves as the bridge between traditional doublehanded dinghies and the uncompromising world of highperformance skiffs. Introduced by RS Sailing in 2006, the boat was designed to capture the excitement of asymmetric spinnaker sailing and trapeze handling within a platform that remains manageable for intermediate sailors. Unlike many of its rotomoulded siblings in the RS range, the RS500 features a stiff, lightweight GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) sandwich construction, prioritizing responsiveness and competitive longevity. The boat has earned World Sailing Recognised Class status, fostering a vibrant international racing circuit that spans across Europe and North America.
