The RS Tera is a one man monohull dinghy in the RS range of sailing boats. It is recognised by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) as an international class, and is a popular boat for beginners.[1]
The Tera gained international status two years after its launch.[1]
Performance and design
The Tera is suitable for introducing newcomers to the sport of sailing, but is also a good boat to race.[1][2] The boat is highly robust, and it is built with a self draining cockpit and easy righting after a capsize, in addition to which it has a floating daggerboard.[4] The boat is fairly small and light, meaning it is possible to transport it on a roof rack, and that it is manageable on the water by younger children. The mast comes in two pieces, and the boom is padded.[5] The boat can be rowed, and has oarlocks.[5]
The Tera has a Comptec PE3 hull and what has been described as a modern look.[5] The sail can be hoisted and dropped with halyards.[4]
