- A reduced area mainsail and jib (from 11m² to 9m²) are strongly recommended for use with the seats. Their smaller areas compensate for the reduced leverage when the crew are sat close to the centreline, rather than on the side decks. These sails will undoubtedly also prove useful in many centres for strong wind use on a standard boat.
Jib furler
- The jib has a furler with the furling line led to the centre controls console. Both sails are constructed from durable Dacron fabric.
- The optional Asymmetric Gennaker Pack offers exciting downwind sailing, making the most of the RS Venture’s modern design and rewarding performance potential.
