World Sailing has selected the RS Venture Connect for the 2018 Para World Championships in Sheboygan, USA and also to include it in the Para Development Program (PDP).

The RS Venture’s plug & play para options mean the boat can be quickly configured to suit sailors with a wide range of disabilities, making round-robin racing in supplied boats possible.

Configuration for the Para Worlds in Sheboygan is currently the two-seat set up, but there are discussions to have the option for one seat with the crew being able to move around the boat and hike as required.

With the sailors backing, Helena and the team at RS are confident this is a positive step and will help bring the extremes of disability together and compete on a level playing field.
