RSCAT 14 - 1

Concept The new RS CAT14 redefines the crisp handling and exciting performance attainable on a simple and durable catamaran. It truly surprises. Following refinement of the RS CAT16 over a three-year period, the RS CAT14 maximises advances in design and technology to deliver real novice-fun to performance-pathway sailing. Developed by design guru, Jo Richards and the RS team, the RS CAT14 will find a RS CAT14 specification natural home in sailing programmes; with young sailors aspiring to higher performance multihull skills and with recreational sailors looking for uncomplicated thrills. The design-protected hull to beam joining system creates a significantly stiffer platform than other rotomoulded cats – providing the basis for advances in handling, enjoyment and durability.

Stiffness Historically, rotomoulded polyethylene catamarans have suffered from flexing at the hull to beam joints, leading to a sloppy feel and sometimes a leak point due to the bolts "working" where they penetrate the deck. Dismantling the boat involves breaking the sealant around the bolts, necessitating careful re-sealing each time the boat is reassembled. The RS CATs change all that. Their technical step forward is a design-protected hull to beam joint system. The beams are well supported in deck recesses and, most importantly, they are bolted through solid polyethylene into...

The transom structural design has been handed down from the RS CAT16 where loads can be enormous. It allows rudder fittings to be bolted through a massively strong area without breaching the hull skin and removes risk of leaking. Worn transom fittings can be replaced easily and without sealant. Importantly, RS rotomoulded hulls are also 100% recyclable. The recovered polyethylene can be made into lower tech products such as water tanks and truck bumpers (only the highest grade materials are used in the manufacture of RS boats). Most other components such as spars, beams and fittings are...

The RS CAT is well balanced, light on the helm and remarkably manoeuvrable. Tacking is more comparable to general purpose monohulls than to many cats - with the boat less prone to getting caught in irons. Learning or racing, this builds confidence and tactical options. Rig Simplicity has been designed in at every opportunity, making the boat quick to rig and reliable. There is no boom, so safety aspects are maximized. The jib has simple hanks to remove the complexity associated with a furling system. The mast incorporates a secure mast heel system to make stepping the rig quick and...
