INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new RS Vareo and thank you for choosing an RS. We are confident that
you will have many hours of great sailing and racing in this excellent and versatile sailboat.
Important Note
The RS Vareo is an exciting boat to sail and offers fantastic performance. It is a light weight dinghy and
should be treated with care. In order to get the most enjoyment from your boat and maintain it in
top condition, please read this manual carefully.
Whilst your RS boat has been carefully prepared, it is important that new owners should check that
shackles, knots, mast step bolts etc. are tight. This is especially important when the boat is new, as
travelling can loosen seemingly tight fittings and knots. It is also important to regularly check such items
prior to sailing. Make sure that you have a basic tool kit with you the first time you rig the boat in case
there are tuning / settings changes that you wish to make.
First time out
Apologies to all the highly experienced, race winning and world girdling yachtsmen amongst you for this last piece of advice! New boats always take some
getting used to. If it is blowing the doors off and the waves are dumping on the beach, why not curb that impatience to get afloat in your new toy. If the
conditions are favourable, the chances are that you'll have far more fun and learn the techniques used in the RS Vareo much more quickly.
