RS Aero 7

The RS Aero 7 is the medium‑sized rig option of the RS Aero single‑hander: a 4.0 m, carbon‑masted, very light dinghy designed by Jo Richards and built by RS Sailing. Its distinguishing feature is a very low hull weight paired with separate interchangeable mast and sail rigs (Aero 5, 7 and 9), allowing the same hull to suit a wide band of crew weights. The Aero 7 sits in the middle of that range and is aimed at medium‑weight adults and competitive youth sailors who want an agile, responsive boat that scales well between club racing and higher‑performance one‑design fleets.
