The RS 21, first launched in 2018[1] by RS Sailing and is a one design keelboat. Design for between 3 and 5 people to race competitively. The class gained World Sailing class status in 2021 and held it first recognised World Championship.[2] With the initial fleet in Europe being joined by fleets in North America [3] the class continues to grow. A detuned "club" version of the boat is available for sale training and fleet charter use.
