RS CAT16

The Cat 16 represents all the clever RS thinking, into two hulls. Through beam mountings, single or double trapeze.

The RS Cat 16 is high performance cat sailing - with the benefits of zero maintenance, modern polyethylene hull construction. It’s not a small boat, yet the Cat 16 punches above its weight in features and design. From the dreadnaught bow design, to the ingeniously strong Hull+Beam attachments... the Cat 16 is a lot more than it looks. Featuring multiple sail options, single or double trapeze, the Cat 16 can be singlehanded up to medium breezes, and can blast around with friend or family in everything else. The Cat 16 is a wide and stable, but fast, beach cat for use in recreation or training environments year after year.
