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]
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]
The World championships had participants from 15 countries.
In 2017 the first EuroCup-Serie was held.
