Best Value Construction

The RS Tera Comptec PE3 construction system uses computerised "in-mould" temperature  and cooling control to take rotomoulded polyethylene hull construction to a new level.

This state of the art process control ensures maximum strength to weight ratio based on the well established three layer system:

   ◦   Tough outer skin
   ◦   Middle foam layer for stiffness
   ◦   Inner skin to stabilise the structure
   ◦  The strongest attachment for the fittings, provided by brass inserts moulded into the hull structure
   ◦   Encapsulated buoyancy in the foam layer makes the RS Tera Comptec PE3 boats unsinkable.

The RS Tera is sold ready to sail, offers more features, better quality and great prices compared to any other sailboat in it's class. A full range of RS Tera accessory options including launch trolleys, boat covers and easy to buy finance options are available.
