Description
Self bailing, confidence inspiring and safe. No bailing required or outside assistance during a capsize. Tough durable construction and worldwide racing fleets. This is the future.
The Tera has taken the West Coast by storm since 2015. A modern, durable, simple, safe yet fun youth trainer. Compared to older ‘traditional’ youth boats, the RS Tera offers good performance in a confidence inspiring package - it's also exceeding low maintenance compared to fiberglass boats. Now in use all over North America by youth racing programs, community sailing centers, camps, and learn to sail programs - the RS Tera is a cost effective and fun boat for young sailors. If recreational sailing is all you want to do, the boat is quick to setup, easy to handle on shore, and fully self bailing while sailing. The Tera is available in two sail options, one that can be reefed easily - allowing sail area to match the wind conditions. An incredibly safe and accessible boat, it can be righted from a capsize by sailors as light as 60 pounds - unlike older designs that require outside assistance from a coach boat to be emptied of water. If racing is of interest for you or your program, this boat has an active North American Class, focused on the West Coast of the North America.
