Day sailing just got more comfortable… and without compromising on performance! Whether you’re coastline cruising, lake island hopping or up-the-creek exploring, sit back and sail at your own pace in the RS Aira 22. The stable and spacious cockpit has room for the whole family and padded cushions make passages even more pleasant. The versatile design means it has fast sailing qualities too.
The long waterline brings day cruising into the 21st century. The lead bulb keel keeps the boat stable and the large, self-draining cockpit keeps things simple on deck. The stability of the RS Aira allows for a larger sail area to play with. Harness the wind with a 14m² main and 8m² jib. Plus, there’s a 28m² gennaker for additional planing performance.
Optional extras include a 1.5 kW electric motor, rotatable cockpit table, furling gennaker and self-tacking jib, so you can focus on those important moments. Whatsmore, we offer a custom colour service, so you can match the cabin roof, cushions, hull stripe and even the gennaker, to suit your personal style.
The RS Aira is made for adventures. Sail away to your favourite beach for a picnic, chose old and new routes to explore, race against friends, and discover serene spots for sundowners.
