Vision

The Vision is fantastic daysailer, big enough to be sailed by a family crew, yet small enough to comfortably sailed single-handed. The boat comes with a single-line gennaker and a furling jib meaning that this is a boat you can grow into and not out of.

Construction

The Vision was designed and built using RS Sailboats Comptec PE3 construction system, which uses a state-of-the-art, computerised "in-mould" temperature and cooling control to ensure maximum strength to weight ratio of the rotomoulded polyethylene hull. This is based on the well established three layer system:

* Tough outer skin
* Middle foam layer for stiffness, which also encapsulates the buoyancy making the boat virtually unsinkable
* Inner skin to stabilise the structure

Brass inserts are moulded into the hull structure to provide the strongest attachment for the fittings, plus accuracy and speed of fit-outs.
