48° North Boat Test

From the May 2019 issue

In 2018, the British small boat specialists, RS Sailing, came to market with a new keelboat that has been generating a lot of excitement; and now it’s come to the Pacific Northwest. By the numbers, it might not seem particularly unique – it is one inch shy of 21’, displaces 1,433 lbs, draws 4’ 6”, and carries its 7’ 3” beam well aft. Yet, after sailing it, there is both a ton to like about the RS 21, and also a lot to distinguish it from its competitors.

The intent from RS Sailing was not to create the fastest 21’ sport boat in the world. In fact, much of the design intent is built around a different priority, and an RS rep told me they aren’t even calling this a sport boat. The RS 21 aims to be quick to plane and a blast to sail, while emphasizing simplicity in its systems, design, and sailing experience; all of which put it squarely in the conversation for the best available club racer and training platform. Sport boat enthusiasts might have noted that the displacement seems a tad on the heavy side for a sport boat of this size. This can be at least partly explained by the choice to endow the boat with 730 lbs of ballast. That better-than-50% ballast-to-displacement ratio clearly fits the design ethos.

The boat has a distinct and eye-catching appearance, sleek and low-slung, somewhat reminiscent of an RS Aero on steroids. I liked it from the jump. Its chamfered bow design and hard chines maximize waterline and denote modernity. Unlike nearly all of its competitors, it is an open-boat design; meaning there’s no cabin or doghouse of any kind. The boat actually is all cockpit. Forgoing what would be a tiny interior anyway means that there’s a much greater sense of space for the crew and more real estate for ergonomic rigging. There’s still a water-tight hatch in the bow that offers a surprisingly generous amount of storage for crew bags, lunch, and your beverage of choice.

The structure of the one design class is taking shape and will be inviting. The boat will be sailed with three or four, and there’s no legs out hiking allowed, making it comfortable compared to some sportier alternatives. There are restrictions on sail purchases, sail cloth usage, and professional sailor involvement, meaning an effort is being made to keep the cost of racing the boat fairly low.

I got to go sailing on the RS 21 on a puffy April day in Richmond, CA. Seeing no outboard on the transom, I assumed we would be sailing off the dock, but then Jake Sorosky, the sales rep for West Coast Sailing (the regional RS dealer) in Washington State stepped to the middle of the cockpit, released a line that was keeping the electric Torqueedo of the water, and asked me, “You want to drive us out?” This innovation is a clever solution to the auxiliary power problem on small sport boats; anyone who has ever done the contortions to stow an outboard down below will appreciate the set-it-and-forget-it ease.

We began sailing inside the harbor in flat water with wind affected by geography and some massive commercial traffic, and mystery puffs and lulls from seemingly every direction. Driving and trimming main, I had to stay on my toes but found it easy to keep the boat on its feet. After a while, I fought my instincts and started letting the big lifting puffs heel the boat without easing. We even tried powering-up in the puffs, inducing excess heel while close-hauled to see if we could lose the rudder. We couldn’t. This kind of sailing is neither comfortable nor fast, but such stability and drive-ability boggles the mind. One word that RS uses to describe the 21 is forgiving, and this is definitely accurate.

Sailing beyond the breakwater into 15-20+ knots of breeze against San Francisco Bay tide, I was aware of the boat’s relatively low freeboard. It tracked beautifully and stayed pleasant to drive, but digging a wave didn’t just slow the boat, it sent a bit of water through cockpit. Careful driving minimized this tendency. The boat seemed to like backstay and the jib, which has athwartships-adjusting leads, could be sheeted hard and still gave great shape and a well-proportioned slot.

Upwind or down, it’s a combination of hull form and foil shape, in addition to the ballast, that makes it eminently drivable. This puts the RS 21 in stark contrast to some of its closest competitors, boats that may be faster and more powered up, but that require much more nuance of tune and trim to drive easily.

You might think all of this stability and ease makes the boat feel slow. Hardly! It was just about as easy to get on a plane as any keelboat I’ve sailed, and declaratively easier than some. It never felt heavy to me, but rather stiff and stable. We weren’t using any instruments, but on an easy plane, I’d guess we were happily cruising along in the low double-digits, pushing into the low teens in the puffs.

Of all the features, the one that gets the double-edged-sword award, in my opinion, is the mid-cockpit pedestal that doubles as a housing for the Torqueedo and the bar for the mainsheet attachment point (there is no mainsheet traveler). The backstay adjustment is also here, as is the double-ended main sheet that may be trimmed from forward or aft of this pedestal.

It has numerous positive attributes. Sheeting the main from an aft and above-the-deck position means that the boom can be trimmed to nearly centerline. Keeping the lifting motor there retains the full range of tiller-motion at the transom and keeps the weight better centered. It’s an easy foot push for the crew seated nearby. And finally, the arch in the middle is an exciting asset as a hand-hold for sailors who struggle with balance or mobility. A recent J/70 world champion installed something somewhat similar to aid him in getting from one side of the boat to the other, and this pedestal could do the same for RS 21 sailors.

The potential downside of this element is that it really is in the middle of everything. On jibes, in particular, we had a couple issues in which the extra main sheet would get caught on parts of this pedestal. There will surely be a learning curve for someone regularly sailing the boat, and it’s far from an insurmountable challenge.

Considering these unique attributes, who is the RS 21 really for? It will be a great first boat for anyone entering sport boat sailing, whether they’re adults getting into it or kids coming out of high school or college racing. Because of its simple and user-friendly approach, I think it will be a popular choice among sail training programs and clubs that provide race boats for fleet or match racing. And, among the boats of similar design, I would call the RS 21 the easiest to day sail, either short handed or with an inexperienced crew. So with this in mind, a fair answer to the question above could genuinely be: everybody.

Naples man, Bonita Springs woman die in Little Hickory Bay boat crash in North Naples

Two Southwest Florida residents died on Friday in a boat crash that remains under investigation by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

John C. Moulder and Judy M. Eaton, both 71, suffered fatal injuries when the 21' Cobia Open Bay boat they were on crashed into the mangrove trees near Little Hickory Bay, Florida Fish and Wildlife said in a statement.

Moulder was from Naples and Eaton was from Bonita Springs.

Moulder and Eaton were the only occupants of the boat and no other vessels were involved in the crash, Florida Fish and Wildlife said.

Eaton was found in the trees and pronounced dead at the scene, while Moulder died from his injuries in a local hospital after being recovered from the water.

Collier had no boating death s in 2021 or 2022, according to the most recent statistical report released by Florida Fish and Wildlife.

Authorities have not released any further information as the investigation continues.

Refugee advocates make contact with suspected Kimberley asylum seekers on Nauru

A refugee advocacy group says it has made contact with 39 men taken to Nauru after being found wandering near a remote Aboriginal community in WA's far north last month. 

After weeks of trying to reach the men, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) said it was relieved to receive contact from all 39 on March 11, confirming they were still being held in detention on Nauru.

On February 16, the  remote Aboriginal community of Beagle Bay rallied together to help the men , making national headlines for their humane response to the strange situation. 

But it would soon be discovered the men were part of a group from south Asia — Pakistan, India, Bangladesh — who arrived on a boat allegedly seeking asylum in Australia.

Within hours, the men's arrival was national news and the centre of a political football focused on Australia's border protection policies.

Federal Opposition leader Peter Dutton slammed the government's weak policies, drawing parallels between the boat arrival and the release of dozens of immigration detainees  convicted of violent offending.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese rubbished Mr Dutton's accusations, reiterating the government's hardline approach to border arrivals and promising the men would not be able to settle here.

Australians saw a Nauru Airlines plane come and go from the Kimberley region and heard from authorities that the situation had been "dealt with."

Men reach out via email

ASRC spokesperson Jana Favero said the men reached out via email, but she remained concerned for their welfare.

She said the ASRC had spoken directly with eight of the men.

"We are following them up as a priority just to make sure their human rights are being met in the first instance," Ms Favero said.

"At the end of the day, we are talking about people and we just want to know what is happening to those people."

She said ASRC continued to be disappointed with the "silence" from the government and subsequent challenges contacting the men.

"We're still calling on the government to dismantle the wall of secrecy that has shrouded what's been happening on Nauru … over the past 10 years," Ms Favero said.

"The government does provide monthly reports on other statistics."

Ms Favero said it was no surprise to hear concerns from community members who saw the men because it puts a human face to Australia's tough border controls.

"When people actually meet someone seeking asylum, the first thing they say is, 'They're just people like us'," she said.

"It strips away the politics and strips away the labels."

A linear process in place

Associate Professor of Law at Murdoch University Mary Anne Kenny said there was a linear process in place to deal with boat arrivals in Australia.

After being flown to Nauru, the only current country with an agreement to process Australia boat arrivals, she said there were contracts to provide those people with welfare and health services.

Ms Kenny said there was also an ongoing arrangement with an Australian legal firm.

"Hopefully, these people will be given access to that assistance," she said.

Ms Kenny said it was understandable for people to be concerned because of the "very difficult conditions" previously revealed about Nauru.

"I guess people do just have to continue to ask questions of the government about what is happening," she said.

Responsibility with Nauru government

Australian Border Force did not respond to questions regarding community and advocate concerns about the fate of the men, citing privacy concerns.

A spokesperson said the responsibility now sat with the government of Nauru to administer and implement regional processing arrangements, including the management of "unauthorised maritime arrivals".

"Australia’s policy response remains consistent: Unauthorised maritime arrivals will not settle in Australia," the spokesperson said.

The ABC was told the cohort of foreign nationals would remain in Nauru until their migration status was resolved or until they voluntarily departed.

Ms Favero said ASRC would stay in contact with the men and continue trying to determine what will happen to them next.

Note: Nikkei Asia decided in March 2022 to suspend its reporting from Russia until further information becomes available regarding the scope of the revised criminal code. Entries include material from wire services and other sources.

Here are the latest developments:

Monday, July 31 (Tokyo time)

12:39 a.m. Ukraine begins negotiations with the U.S. this week on a bilateral agreement for security guarantees that will be valid until Ukraine joins NATO, the head of the Ukrainian presidential office announces.

The talks will follow up on Group of Seven members' recent pledge to "each work with Ukraine on specific, bilateral, long-term security commitments and arrangements."

Sunday, July 30

5:30 p.m. The Russian Navy will receive 30 new warships this year, President Vladimir Putin says in St. Petersburg in a speech for a naval parade on the Neva River to mark his country's annual Navy Day.

1:00 p.m. Ukraine tried to attack "Moscow facilities" via drone in the morning local time, Russia's Defense Ministry says.

"One Ukrainian drone was destroyed by air defense means over the territory of the Moscow Region's Odintsovo district," the Russian government's Tass news agency quotes the ministry as saying. "Two other drones were suppressed by electronic warfare and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of the Moscow City complex of non-residential buildings."

There is no immediate claim of responsibility from Ukraine, whose military intelligence service declines to comment on the Moscow City strikes, the Financial Times reports.

Tass quotes an emergency services source as saying a security guard was injured in a Moscow City building. Independent Russia-focused media outlet Meduza posts photos of blown-out skyscraper windows.

"Passers-by found documents on the street, which were presumably blown out of the buildings where the offices of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media are located," Meduza says.

12:15 a.m. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki says a group of a hundred Russian Wagner mercenaries have moved closer to the Belarusian city of Grodno near the Polish border, raising fears that the troops will try to cross the border.

"The situation is getting increasingly dangerous ... Most likely they [the Wagner personnel] will be disguised as the Belarusian border guard and help illegal migrants get to the Polish territory [and] destabilize Poland," Morawiecki says. "They will most likely try to enter Poland pretending to be illegal migrants and this poses additional threats," he says.

Saturday, July 29

11:30 p.m. Ukrainian soldiers have used North Korean rockets that they said were seized by a "friendly" country before being delivered to Ukraine, the Financial Times reports .

The North Korean arms, were shown to the FT by troops operating Soviet-era Grad multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) near the devastated city of Bakhmut.

The Ukrainian soldiers say the rockets had been "seized" from a ship by a "friendly" country before being delivered to Ukraine.

3:50 p.m. Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who remains active despite leading a failed mutiny against the Russian army's top brass last month, has hailed Niger's military coup as good news and offered his fighters' services to bring order. A voice message on Telegram app channels associated with Wagner that they said was Prigozhin did not claim involvement in the coup, but described it as a moment of long overdue liberation from Western colonisers and made what looked like a pitch for his fighters to help keep order.

1:00 p.m. The Japanese Defense Ministry says that five Chinese and five Russian warships sailed through the Soya Strait between Hokkaido and Sakhalin to the Sea of Okhotsk, possibly in connection with a joint patrol in the Pacific Ocean. Nine of the naval vessels were involved in a joint exercise in the Sea of Japan between July 18 and 23, the ministry said. The Chinese and Russian vessels -- destroyers, frigates and supply ships -- were located about 200 kilometers southwest of Rebun Island in Hokkaido around 3 p.m. Friday and had moved eastward through the strait by Saturday, according to the ministry.

3:05 a.m. African leaders press Russian President Vladimir Putin to move ahead with their peace plan to end the Ukraine conflict and to renew a deal on the safe wartime export of Ukrainian grain that Moscow tore up last week, reports Reuters.

"This war must end. And it can only end on the basis of justice and reason," African Union Commission Chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat told Putin and African leaders at the Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg.

"The disruptions of energy and grain supplies must end immediately. The grain deal must be extended for the benefit of all the peoples of the world, Africans in particular."

12:32 a.m. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that Qatar will provide Ukraine with $100 million in humanitarian aid to support health, education and demining, reports Reuters.

Friday, July 28

2:08 a.m. China is helping Russia evade Western sanctions and likely providing Moscow with military and dual-use technology for use in Ukraine, according to an unclassified U.S. intelligence report .

"The customs records show PRC state-owned defense companies shipping navigation equipment, jamming technology, and fighter jet parts to sanctioned Russian Government-owned defense companies," the report said, using the acronym for the People's Republic of China.

Thursday, July 27

10:30 p.m. Russia has placed International Criminal Court Judge Tomoko Akane on its wanted list after the court issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin for war crimes, the state media Tass reports.

Akane is the second ICC judge to be placed on Russia's wanted list, with Judge Rosario Salvatore Aitala and ICC prosecutor Karim Khan being put on the list in May.

3:00 p.m. Russia hit port infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region in an overnight missile attack, killing a security guard and damaging a cargo terminal, the region's governor says. Odesa's ports have been regular targets for Russian attacks since Moscow last week withdrew from the Black Sea grain initiative, the Turkey and U.N.-brokered agreement that allowed Ukrainian grain to be exported from Odesa's ports for nearly a year. Odesa Gov. Oleh Kiper said Russia fired Kalibr missiles at an unspecified port from a submarine in the Black Sea. He said a security building had been destroyed and two cars damaged.

9:30 a.m. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu , who was on a rare visit to the isolated country during which both sides pledged to boost ties, state media KCNA reports. Shoigu handed Kim a letter from Russian President Vladimir Putin, the report said. Kim in turn thanked Putin for sending a military delegation led by Shoigu, adding the meeting deepened the "strategic and traditional DPRK [North Korea]-Russia relations."

The Russian delegation and a Chinese delegation including Chinese Communist Party Politburo member Li Hongzhongas arrived in North Korea this week for the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War celebrated in North Korea as "Victory Day."

4:06 a.m. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi held summit talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday in St. Petersburg, the African country's State Information Service reports.

The meeting was held ahead of the second Russia-Africa Summit, a two-day event ending Friday.

Sisi thanked Putin for Moscow's support in establishing projects including the Dabaa nuclear power plant, Egypt Today reports.

Wednesday, July 26

8:00 p.m. Russia has deployed the warship Sergey Kotov to the southern Black Sea, the British Defence Ministry says, warning of potential Russian actions against commercial vessels. The corvette is tasked with patrolling the shipping lane between the Bosphorus and Odesa, the ministry says in an intelligence update.

"There is a realistic possibility that it will form part of a task group to intercept commercial vessels Russia believes are heading to Ukraine," the ministry says.

A day earlier, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy talked by phone on the possibility of Russian forces adding merchant ships to their list of targets in the Black Sea, British Ambassador to the U.N. Barbara Woodward told reporters.

Russia has repeatedly attacked grain warehouses in the port of Odesa since suspending its participation in an agreement ensuring the flow of agricultural exports through the Black Sea. Moscow says other parties to the deal failed to hold up their end of the bargain.

2:00 p.m. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is to visit North Korea, state media in Pyongyang report, part of the first travel by foreign dignitaries to the isolated East Asian nation since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shoigu flew into Pyongyang on a plane carrying a Chinese delegation including Li Hongzhong, a member of the Communist Party Politburo, Kyodo reports, citing aviation sources.

10:30 a.m. The U.S. has announced $400 million in additional military aid for Ukraine, including air defense missiles, armored vehicles and small drones. The new aid package will include, for the first time, U.S.-supplied Black Hornet surveillance drones made by Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies. The Norwegian-built mini drone is being used in Ukraine through donations by the British and Norwegian governments. The U.S. will also supply additional munitions for Patriot air defense systems and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS), as well as Stinger anti-aircraft systems.

Tuesday, July 25

10:45 p.m. Landmines have been found at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by international inspectors, according to International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi.

5:40 p.m. Road traffic on the bridge linking Russia to the Crimean peninsula has resumed after being briefly suspended on Saturday, an official Telegram channel said. It did not state the reason for the road closure. On Monday, the road was put out of service after an attack that killed two people. The bridge had only recently returned to full operation after being damaged in a bomb blast last October.

3:10 p.m. Prominent Russian nationalist and former military commander Igor Girkin, who had publicly accused President Vladimir Putin and the army top brass of not pursuing the war in Ukraine harshly or effectively enough, was remanded in custody on Friday on charges of inciting extremism. His arrest earlier in the day by his ex-employer, the FSB state security service, suggests authorities have wearied of his criticism of the war in Ukraine, following an abortive mutiny last month led by another outspoken critic, Yevgeny Prigozhin, boss of the Wagner mercenary force, who is still free but has sharply curtailed his own verbal attacks.

Britain's defense ministry, in a regular intelligence update on Saturday, said the arrest was "likely to infuriate fellow members of the military blogger community, who largely see Girkin as an astute military analyst and patriot."

8:00 a.m. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula to Russia, which was built by Moscow and brought into service in 2018, is a military target as it is "not just a logistical road" and brings "war, not peace." Speaking by video link to the Aspen security conference in the United States, he said, "For us, this is understandably an enemy facility built outside international laws and all applicable norms. So, understandably, this is a target for us. And a target that is bringing war, not peace, has to be neutralized." Ukraine welcomed Monday's attack on the bridge, which killed two civilians, but officials did not directly claim responsibility, while Moscow blamed Ukraine.

7:30 a.m. French President Emmanuel Macron's top diplomatic adviser says China is delivering items that could be used as military equipment to Russia, according to Reuters. Asked at the Aspen Security Forum late on Thursday if the West had seen any evidence that China has armed Russia in any way in the war in Ukraine, Emmanuel Bonne, the head of Macron's diplomatic team at the Elysee Palace, told the moderator: "Yes, there are indications that they are doing things we would prefer them not to do." When pressed on whether China is delivering weapons, Bonne said: "Well, kind of military equipment ... as far as we know they are not delivering massively military capacities to Russia but [we need that to be] no delivery."

Friday, July 21

11:30 p.m. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed Kyiv's ambassador to the U.K. and the International Maritime Organization, Vadym Prystaiko, under a presidential decree that does not state a reason.

Prystaiko had given Zelenskyy an apparent rebuke last week for the president's "sarcastic" response to British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace's comment that the U.K. is not an "Amazon" delivery service for weapons for Ukraine.

The dismissal comes the day after Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address that the state budget should prioritize defense and that he had asked the prime minister to consider replacing the culture minister. "Paving stones, city decorations and fountains can wait till after the victory," the president said. The culture minister in question, Oleksandr Tkachenko, says he submitted his resignation before Zelenskyy's address.

2:40 p.m. Poland's security committee decided in a meeting on Wednesday to move military units to the country's east due to the Wagner Group's presence in Belarus, state-run news agency PAP quotes its secretary as saying on Friday. On Thursday, the Belarusian defense ministry said Wagner mercenaries had started to train Belarusian special forces at a military range just a few miles from the border with NATO-member Poland. "Training or joint exercises of the Belarusian army and the Wagner Group is undoubtedly a provocation," Zbigniew Hoffmann told PAP. "The Committee analyzed possible threats, such as the dislocation of Wagner Group units. Therefore, the Minister of National Defense, chairman of the Committee, Mariusz Blaszczak, decided to move our military formations from the west to the east of Poland."

1:57 a.m. Russia is not preparing to attack civilian ships in the Black Sea, contrary to American claims, says Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador to the U.S., in comments posted on social media by his embassy.

1:34 a.m. The U.S. announces sanctions on a total of 120-plus individuals and entities, including 14 vessels, to "constrain Russia's military capabilities, its access to battlefield supplies, and its economic bottom line." The Russian Embassy in Washington does not immediately respond to Reuters for comment.
