THE FAST, FUN AND ADDICTIVE WAY INTO SAILING

“An ideal boat to introduce kids to sailing – modern-looking, fun to sail and exceptional value … buy one and burn the Playstation” by WhatBoat magazine

For youngsters, family beach fun, racing, and as a junior boat for sailing clubs, schools, and holiday company fleets – the RS Tera is the perfect boat for kids. This growing ISAF Class has a training and racing program up to World Championship level – With an emphasis on having fun while learning and competing at all levels.

The RS Tera comes in two specifications: Sport (Dacron sail for durability) and Pro (battened Mylar sail for more power). There is also a mini-sail with a reduced sail area for smaller sailors and a Race pack for youngsters wishing to compete. All specifications can be fitted to the same hull and spars, meaning a long life of RS Tera sailing from ages 5 to teen. If you are looking for a small boat for sale, the RS Tera is cost-effective, durable, and a great performer with ISAF Class status and a huge international racing scene.

The RS Tera is packed with features that make it safe and easy to sail. It comes up dry from a capsize, unlike the Optimist dinghy, giving greater independence and giving parents and instructors peace of mind. The RS Tera is quick and simple to rig, with boom padding to reduce head injuries, and is also incredibly light – Children can launch and rig themselves and it can even be car topped for easy transportation.
