The RS Feva - a double-handed boat that is taking the sailing world by storm, is being sailed competitively and for fun all over the globe. Have you seen this boat?
MAYRA is interested in starting an RS Feva Class in our SJSS Regattas. It is the perfect boat for a sailor going from an OPTI to a double-handed boat (and who cannot really handle a C-420) or a Laser Sailor who would like to sail a double-handed boat. Check out this video of this amazing boat. LINK TO FEVA VIDEO
