The RS Vareo is a modern, single-handed sailing dinghy raced throughout the UK at both club and national level.
[1] Fleets have grown throughout the UK and a racing circuit has been developed by the RS Association with sponsored events & championships.
The GUL RS Vareo National Championships saw a record fleet of 47 competing at Netley SC in July 2007.
[4] The boat is characterised in having good stability up and downwind, well-mannered handling and enough room in the cockpit to take a friend out when not racing.
Without the complications of a trapeze, the handling characteristics allow a broad range of sailors get the most out of their time on the water; without the challenges and pitfalls of a faster asymmetric single hander.
