RS800 - PERFORMANCE DINGHIES & SKIFFS
Great boats, big regattas and a social scene second to none. RS has become a phenomenon since its launch in 1994.
It's all about the sailors - enthusiasm, camaraderie and competition.
RS provides the tools and our philosophy has never changed - use the latest design developments and relevant construction technology to develop boats that deliver attainable performance and exciting, one-design competition.
We work closely with the Class Associations who provide the rules, regattas, training and communications.

"The RS800 is, in my opinion, one of the most exciting, forgiving, user friendly skiffs I've ever sailed"
Sue Pelling - Yachting journalist


"Getting to the front of the 800 fleet has been down to time in the boat and analysing what we had to do better"
Spod Olive - RYA National Coach (with his serious hat on) "I've sailed in a number of fleets but none as debauched as RS" (later that night)


"The best thing about 800's is you can sail them with girls"
Anonymous!


"I was impressed, not only with her stability, but also the effortless way she took off"
Sue Pelling


"A big RS event is like nothing else you'll do in dinghy racing - hundreds of people from all over the place with all sorts of experience. After that any other event feels like a ghost town - you can hear the silence and see the tumble weed rolling through the dinghy park"
Mike Lennon - MD Hyde Sails


"The 800 must be forgiving - even Nick Peters is competitive"
Mike Lennon - multiple class championship winner
