Blast acrross the bay - picnic on the beach: The RS CAT16 opens the exciting world of sailing to you. aorem zzril ulput More fun through better design With significant technical developments in key structural aspects of the boat, the RS CAT16 not only looks modern it also incorporates important practical benefits. The hulls and beams are secured without holes through the skin of the boat, so the boat can be assembled or taken apart in close to 15 minutes without need for sealant.

So the RS CAT16 can be stored in restricted spaces and can even be transported on the roof of a large family car presenting more possibilities for the sailing family. Long lasting value Build quality is second to none because the RS CAT16 is constructed using the RS Comptec PE3 - three layer rotomoulded polyethlene system.

It not only looks great but also brings valuable technical steps forward to make the boat practical strong and exciting. Responses so far have been all that we could have hoped for. Martin Wadhams -MD RS Sailing I am very happy with the construction developments and the user friendly characteristics that we have been able to combine with really exciting performance and contemporary looks.
