RS Venture Keel

When the agenda calls for taking multiple friends and family members out sailing, it’s almost impossible to beat RS Sailing’s Venture S and her big sister, the Venture Keel. Both of these fiberglass daysailers feature a spacious cockpit with enough seating to accommodate up to eight people, a stable and forgiving hull form, and a sailplan that can be managed by just two.

A key to the RS Venture line’s success is the ability to add equipment as your sailing skills increase, guaranteeing that you and your family will grow into this comfortable daysailer, not out of its roomy cockpit. For example, the Venture S can be retrofitted with a ballasted centerboard, and both boats can also accommodate trapeze rigs.

Finally, both versions of this capable daysailer offer the ability to fly either a symmetric or asymmetric spinnaker (optional), as well as an outboard engine for times when the wind dies.
