RS 100 Dinghies for Sale
The RS 100 is a high-performance single-handed dinghy, renowned for its lightweight design, responsive handling, and exciting planing capabilities, making it a favourite among competitive sailors and club racers. You’ll typically find a mix of race-ready examples, lightly-used training boats, and older hulls ideal for refurbishment, often complete with sails, foils, covers, and trailers, offered by private UK sellers and sailing clubs.
Sailing Experience and Performance
The RS100 is known for its dynamic and responsive handling, offering a balance of power and control. It is available with either an 8.4m² or a 10.2m² mainsail, allowing sailors to choose the rig that best suits their weight and experience level. Its lightweight epoxy hull enables quick acceleration and easy planing, while the wide wings provide added stability. The asymmetric spinnaker enhances downwind performance, allowing the boat to reach impressive speeds while remaining controllable. The RS100 has a Portsmouth Yardstick (PY) number of approximately 1002, making it a competitive choice for handicap racing while also providing an exhilarating ride for those who enjoy fast, tactical sailing in a skiff-style dinghy.
Popularity in the UK
The RS100 has gained a strong following in the UK, particularly among experienced single-handed sailors looking for an alternative to conventional hiking boats. Popular at sailing clubs with active asymmetric fleets, such as Hayling Island Sailing Club, Rutland Sailing Club, and Lymington Town Sailing Club, the RS100 is regularly seen in both club racing and national events. The RS100 Class Association plays a vital role in organising championships and training events, helping to support the growing fleet. Its combination of speed, versatility, and modern design ensures it remains a favourite among sailors seeking an exciting single-handed experience.
