History

RS Sailing introduced the RS Cat 14 in 2017, designed by Jo Richards to give clubs and families an accessible catamaran with the option to add a trapeze as skills grow. It shares hull heritage with earlier RS beach cat designs and has built a following in youth and club programs.

Sailing Characteristics

Wide, stable hulls and a simple rig make the Cat 14 easy to right and easy to learn on, while still offering enough speed to keep more experienced sailors interested. It works well as a training platform that scales up into genuine racing.

Racing Context

National and regional championships run through club and youth catamaran circuits, with growing fleets built around RS Sailing's beach cat programs.
