RS21 Cyprus at the Nautical Limassol Club
Many traditional sports classes demand immense physical strength, aggressive hiking out, and a heavy crew weight just to keep the boat flat.
We brought the RS21 fleet to Cyprus because this boat changes the game. It is designed so that your results at the finish line depend on crew coordination, sail trim, and tactical decisions—not brute force or expensive equipment upgrades. It is the perfect balance between high-performance racing technology and pure sailing enjoyment.
Perfect for Everyone
(True Inclusivity)
The RS21 is incredibly light and responsive at the helm. It does not require specialized physical conditioning, making it perfect for mixed crews. Women, teenagers, children, and beginners can compete on equal terms in serious races, confidently taking on any role—from trimming the sails to steering the boat.
The “No-Hiking” Rule
(No More Bruised Knees)
You no longer need to hang painfully over the side, straining your back and knees to keep the boat upright. The crew sits comfortably and safely inside the spacious cockpit. This not only protects your health but also levels the playing field for teams of different weights.
Total Teamwork
(No "Passengers" Allowed)
The boat is sailed by a crew of 3 to 5 people. The ergonomics of the RS21 ensure that everyone on board has a clear, understandable, and vital role. You can’t just sit back and watch; you work as a single, cohesive unit, making the boat ideal for team building and club racing.
Strict One-Design Racing
(Fair Racing for Everyone)
Every boat in our fleet is absolutely identical in weight, sails, and rig settings. In a race, it’s the skill of the team that wins, not the budget spent on boat modifications. This guarantees fair, incredibly tight, and exciting competition on the water.
