The RS500 is a double handed trapeze skiff designed by Phil Morrison, manufactured and designed by RS Sailing.[1] The class has a PY number of 972.[2] There are two sail size options (the S and XL rig) and makes the RS500 suitable for youngsters and adults. With ISAF Recognised Status,[3] the RS500 has a racing circuit with events in UK, Europe and World Championships.[4]
Performance and design
The cockpit is uncluttered and the low transom design makes climbing aboard after capsize easy and a pivoting centreboard and rudder make launch and recovery safe.[5]
