Iconic British rope manufacturer Kingfisher Yacht Ropes sponsors RS Fest Miami

January 31, 2025

RS Sailing are excited to announce a new sponsor onboard for RS Fest Miami 2025, iconic British rope manufacturer Kingfisher Yacht Ropes.

The second edition of RS Fest Miami, our multi-class RS Sailing event in North America. The three-day regatta is a celebration of RS Sailing fleets, hosted in tropical Miami at Coconut Grove Sailing Club, from Friday, March 28th, to Sunday, March 30th.

With over 30 years of experience, DSM’s Kingfisher Yacht Ropes supplies high-performance sailing ropes and equipment. Kingfisher Yacht Ropes was established as a brand in 2002 when DSM Group added yacht ropes to its extensive range of rope and rope-related products. Since then, Kingfisher has developed into one of the most recognised names for ropes throughout the sailing industry.

Kingfisher Yacht Ropes’ Group Partner, Nigel Saddington commented, “RS Fest Miami is an exciting event for Kingfisher Yacht Ropes to partner with; we are delighted to be in Miami to provide expert advice during the event”. The Kingfisher Yacht Ropes team will be on hand at the event to share advice and bimbles around their impressive product range, and they have sponsored a fantastic array of prizes and giveaways in support of the event.

Entry is open for the event; follow this link to find out more about the event and to enter. To find out more about Kingfisher Yacht Ropes, follow this link.
