Dinghy Show: Meet the Team

January 31, 2019
RS Sailing Team - Dinghy Show 2018

With the Dinghy Show fast approaching (March 2/3 2019) we wanted to make sure you knew who to come and see on the stand (B70-74) over the weekend.

Sales Team

Our Sales Team is ever increasing both in numbers and experience. Headed up by Sales Director Riki, and joining Steve and George (who had their Dinghy Show debut in 2018) and who look after Retail Sales, we would like to introduce Jake – our new Training and Fleet Sales Coordinator.

Working in Sailing Centres for the last 10 years I have become well acquainted with RS and when an opportunity came up to join the team, there was only one option for me. I am very excited to get involved with the training fleet at RS and support all the training centres and clubs around the country that are using our boats.

I grew up on the south coast and was introduced to sailing by the Sea Scouts. Since then I have worked in various sailing centres and clubs. In my spare time I coach an RYA Zone Squad and develop new RYA Dinghy Instructors as a Coach Assessor.

Moving forwards, I am excited to support all the Clubs and Training centres across the country in delivery of the sport we all love. Whether that is helping with the best way to rig a boat, tricks to get the most out of a certain session or getting people the equipment they need to do the job, I’m happy to help.

I will be at The Dinghy show as well as several RYA Instructor Training Days and would love to meet you all so please come and say hi.

Jake can be reached on +44(0)7887875015 or Jake@RSsailing.com

 

RS21

The RS21 has had an insane first year – so much so we now have a dedicated Keelboat Manager to answer all your RS21 needs. You might know him – Steve Dean, a familiar face at RS (previously owned Training and Fleet) has taken on this new challenge and is taking to it like a duck to water. Pun intended. Steve’s new contact number is 07938 450401 and remains on Steve@RSsailing.com

 

RS Sailing Store Team

The RS Sailing Store team will also be on hand at the Show to answer any questions or point you in the direction of the correct spare parts online. Led by Andy, these guys have an impressive amount of knowledge across the entire RS Range!
