The RS21 is a class of one-design keelboat first launched in 2018[1] by RS Sailing.The boat was designed for between 3 and 5 people to race competitively, although it is most commonly sailed with 4 sailors. Jo Richards and Guy Whitehouse designed the boat.
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.
The class has held an annual RS21 World Championship since 2022.
