Adrenaline packed racing and a full-on social scene. The RS200 is one of the most popular two person sailboats of today. Perfect for moderate weight teams, it’s a winner with mixed crews, young sailors and family teams – at clubs, championships and on the RS Racing Circuit. Strict one-design rules keep the competition tight and the budget in control.

The RS21 responds to the need for a progressive, simple and a­ffordable solution for keelboat clubs that increasingly see the opportunity for ‑fleet ownership, league competition and training. Pay-as-you-go. Team up and do it together. The RS21 is specifically designed for fleet purchase, with attributes that will appeal to individual buyers as well. It puts close racing over ultimate performance. Convenient ownership over complexity. It maximizes low maintenance. Comfortable ergonomics. Value. And pure sailing enjoyment. This is the boat to bring wider availability and popularity back to keelboat racing. RS Sailing’s sustainability focus has actively in‑influenced the design, resulting in a boat built from eco-friendly materials, with multiple environmental attributes. It marks significant progress over previous generations.

A modern classic from the outset, the RS400 launched RS and built our reputation. It is fast, well mannered, beautifully built and attracts great sailors. This gennaker powered, double-handed hiking Class is as popular today as it was when it all began. The powerful rig and high volume hull suits medium to heavy, often mixed, teams. In clubs and on the RS Racing Circuit the RS400 gives amazing, one-design competition. It has become one of the most successful modern classes with great club and Class communities.

Welcome to the Sandpiper 565 Sailboat Owner's Group. The Sandpiper is 18.5 feet long (5.65 metres), but feels more like a keelboat than an enlarged dinghy. It has a relatively high freeboard and deep cockpit. You can walk around the deck of this boat, and it has a forward hatch and even a small anchor locker. The Sandpiper is trailerable and its keel (ballasted daggerboard) retracts completely into the hull, a feature which makes this boat very easy to beach.

"How fast can you go in the middle of the night in 35 knots of wind and 15 foot breaking seas? Wear your safety harness and be sure to take your spinnaker down before mother nature does it for you." Bill Lee

A fine bow, wide beam, and heavy fixed fin keel makes the Santana 22 stiff and delightfully easy to handle. If you are looking for competitive one design racing on the San Francisco Bay at a fraction of the cost of other fleets, the Santana 22 is your boat. The Santana 22 is a 40 year old design that was conceived expressly for sailing on the bay. The class currently maintains an active racing schedule participating in the YRA One Design Class Association series in addition to several other races. Our sailors range from some of the best in the bay to those who are just getting started in racing.

The 525 was designed in the 70's by Shad Turner to the IOR racing rules. The result is a boat that was competitive and is still competitive in today's PHRF racing. Shad focused on light building techniques utilizing strategic reinforcement of critical areas. He decided on a hydrofoil that allows the 525 to point better than most boats with out sacrificing down wind speed. The results of this design is minimum wetted surface area and exceptional responsiveness to helm.

The Canadian Shark Class Association (CSCA) is a member of the International Shark Class Association (ISCA), and is the governing body for Shark racing in Canada. Sharks are an officially recognized one-design class of World Sailing (formerly the International Sailing Federation – ISAF). The Shark was designed in 1959 by George Hinterhoeller, then a 31-year-old Austrian émigré and Boatwright living in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Having grown up sailing light displacement fin-keeled boats in his native Austria, Hinterhoeller soon grew tired of the ponderous full-keeled wooden sloops that were common in the 1950's on Lake Ontario and wanted a boat that would go like hell when the wind blew. Sharks have been a mainstay of the one-design sailing scene on the Great Lakes for over 40 years, and the class is as strong today as ever. Toronto, ON Canada

International Shark Class Association.

Australian Sharpie Association. It seems that once you start sailing these iconic three person dinghies you can't give them up - it doesn't matter what age you are, sailing Sharpies is just so much fun. Australian Lightweight Sharpies are a national one design class with a long history of evolution. The class is quite unusual in comparison to the majority of other dinghies, due to its distinctive shape, size and complement of crew (three: including skipper, main hand and forward hand on trapeze).

The Australian Sharpie is a highly competitive yet social class with a long history of attracting and developing champion sailors. The Australian Sharpie, or Lightweight Sharpie, was founded by the Addison brothers in Western Australia and is a much lighter version of the original 12m, or Heavyweight, Sharpie. The one design aspect of the class keeps costs to minimum compared to other classes while locking in the performance aspects of the design. Along with a performing design the class also boasts an impressive social side with some sailors joining the fleet for that reason only. The sharpie combines hard racing with desire for a nice cold corona when arriving onshore.

We are a sociable and lively class with a strong racing programme. We are passionate and knowledgeable about racing and enjoy legendary après-sailing just as much as on the water.

Sigma 38s continue to be the largest one design entry in the Fastnet Race and are regularly the most represented production boat in both RORC and JOG races.

An Ian Proctor design thriving today, actively enjoyed by multiple generations of sailors & spectators. The SigneT is a 12’4” traditional racing dinghy designed in 1961 by the late Ian Proctor. In Ian’s own words, “the design problem set by the Sunday Times was to provide really good sailing and racing at the lowest possible cost” and over 60 years later the SigneT does exactly that. The resulting SigneT is probably the easiest to build two-person boat. The hard-chine wooden hull, designed for home building in your average single garage without the need for fancy tools, is a lasting design. You can home-build SigneTs or buy them second-hand. The SigneT truly is a multi-generational class. Sailors range from under 10 years old to over 70.

International Snipe Class. The Snipe is a 15-1/2 foot, 2 person, one design racing dinghy with a rich history. Designed by William Crosby in 1931, it has evolved into a modern, tactical racing dinghy with fleets around the world. Although the Snipe Class has some of the best competition in the world, the class has not lost sight of the importance of social events and, in fact, many regattas are as well known for their parties as they are for their racing.

Snipen is a two-man dinghy with a rich history. The boat was designed by William Crosby in 1931. The boat has developed into a modern, tactical racing dinghy, with fleets around the world. The snipe is considered a heavy dinghy (172.8 kg. Ready to sail), which makes it extremely tactical to sail. You can say that the weight also means that the dinghy is solidly built and you can therefore have a competitive dinghy for many years. The dinghy is sailed without plays, but instead the jib is played downwards. This may be a reason why there are so many Snipe Sailors and former Snipe Sailors who sail Starboat, with great success.

Italian Snipe Class Association. A radical departure from the tradition of the world of sailing occurred in Sarasota (Florida) in March 1931, when the editor of the "Rudder" Bill Crosby attended a meeting of the Florida West Coast Racing Association. In response to the request to create a class of trolley-transportable racing boats, Crosby promised to start this class by drawing and publishing plans for such a boat in his magazine. The name Snipe was chosen according to the "Rudder" magazine's custom of naming all of his designs from sea and water birds and the plans for the Snipe appeared in the July issue of "Rudder" which was quickly sold out. Most of the boats are now built by professionals and are made of fiberglass but the wood in boards and plywood are still used and amateurs can build boats from projects obtainable from the SCIRA office or buy fiberglass boats in kits, to be finished on their own. All boats must be measured and carry the SCIRA sticker mark in SCIRA competitions

This provides a great context for younger sailors to develop their understanding of the sport, and it is attractive for families who often have multiple boats for husbands, wives and children (and grand children!).
