This "dingy" is very fun. Like a laser, it can easily be sailed single-handed, but it has an open cockpit and can easily handle two adults. It's powered by a large main sail and spinnaker (no jib, so it can easily be sailed single-handed). There is an integrated pouch for the spinnaker in the cockpit, so it can be neatly stored on the boat and easily deployed. I purchased the Vareo new from an RS dealer in 2016, but it's time to move to a bigger boat.
Includes a spinnaker, dolly, cover and original documentation.
Currently docked at my house on Chebacco Lake in Hamilton. It cost $9,000 new, and is priced to sell fast at $3,800 or the highest reasonable offer. Thanks for looking. Call 978-578-4028
From a professional review:
"The introduction of LDC's new RS-branded Vareo has been hailed as the dawn of a new era in versatile sailboats. It is designed primarily as a competitive single-hander and yet it has all-round appeal. The Vareo is stable enough to sail with the kids while the cockpit has plenty of room for two adults."
Single-handers don't come much simpler to sail. Yet the simplicity and the stability certainly don't detract from the responsiveness or fun of this boat. Despite its sensible nature, the Vareo still has the look of an RS raceboat, and more importantly, sails like an RS raceboat. We were impressed at how successful the boat is in applying itself to a multitude of uses - and sailors - across the whole spectrum."
"The RS Vareo is made using a polyester GRP laminate so the hull is both light and durable, easy to manoeuvre on the shore and buoyant yet robust on the water."
