After successful seasons in 2007 and 2008 the US RSK6 fleet is looking forward to an even better 2009.
 
With 18 boats racing out of American YC (Rye, NY) it is the largest 20' sport boat fleet on Long Island Sound. We run high quality one-design races, in a time efficient format, that are open to non-members of AYC, and we also take part in certain YRA and other outside events.
 

For Sale: K6 183. Boat is in excellent condition and just won the 2009 US Nationals (HPDO). She is being offered for sale to someone wishing to join the fleet, and will be replaced by a new boat. Please go to the link on this page to email for more information.

The RS K6 is a 19 foot keelboat conceived and built by Rondar Raceboats in the UK, where it is marketed by RS Sailing. It is the lightest and has less beam than other 20' sportboats.
 
With an all up weight of just over 600 pounds (nearly 50% is in the keel bulb) the K6 combines the performance of a modern dinghy with the forgiveness of a keelboat. Its simple systems and light loads allow the boat to be raced with a wide range of crews. The simplicity of the boat will be combined with a time-efficient racing program to maximize time on the water.
 
The fleet welcomes those interested to check out the boats, and the racing program. Click on the link to the right to email us if you wish to come sailing or have any questions.
