European Demo for RS Aero Dinghy Begins

16th May 2014

#rsaero – Having already debuted in Ireland, RS Sailing's newest development, the RS Aero, has been in full swing with sailors having their first taste at clubs across the country during a UK demo tour.

The much hyped new craft is ultra-light and simple to rig which RS say it means the dinghy will 'reset the standard for exhilarating sailing'. In Ireland, the boat was tested by youth Laser ace Finn Lynch last month. Vid here.

Today marks the announcement of the European demo tour, starting at Campione del Garda in Italy this Saturday and Sunday 17th and 18th May, followed by Bruinisse in the Netherlands the following weekend – Friday 30th and Saturday 31st May.

With the attractive launch offer of £4,870 stg, pre orders have been placed faster than can be processed, say RS.
