How to Rig an RS Aero
How to set up your RS Aero and get out on the water

Rigging the RS Aero takes just 3 minutes.
The control lines (outhaul and vang) can stay attached for both dropping the mast and travel, enabling quick re-rig and avoiding any error in doing it afresh each time 

When you want to swap to an alternative rig size (sail and lower mast change) that can be done in just another 3 minutes max. You need to;
- Re-shackle the vang
- Re-lead the vang line
- Re-lead the outhaul line

Thanks to the RYA Dinghy Racing Channel for producing this video, helping both new and existing RS Aero sailors.
