Something Special… 30+ Years of the RS200

To celebrate 30 years of the RS200 we’ve restored an original RS200 – one of the first ones ever built! Our Operations Director, Richard Frost, spied it on a used boat listing, purchased it and has lovingly kitted it out with our head of GRP Production (and general RS workshop Guru) Marty Miller.

The boat will be displayed side-by-side with the first ever RS200 to be #MadeinCowes in our factory on the Isle of Wight in January 2026. Marty will be on hand to chat through the developments, the hardware upgrades, and fleet build consistencies in RS in-house production.

RS Games 2026 – UK Launch Party

Following the official entry launch of the RS Games at boot Düsseldorf in January, celebrations continue at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show.

Join us at 4pm on Saturday 21st February on the RS stand for coffee and cake as we share more details about what to expect at RS Games 2026.

Interactive Spaces for the RS Family

The RS Stand is about so much more than just seeing the boats (although we do LOVE that part!). RS Sailing is all about community, so this year, we wanted to create spaces for the RS Family to meet up, reminisce and plan future events together!

Fun Activities: Back by popular demand, the RS Hiking Challenge invites sailors of all ages to hold their longest hike. Stop watches at the ready, timings will be listed to beat on the RS board, with prizes for the ab-tastic holders! Knot-tying and splicing workshops, racing blow boats and other hands-on games are open to youth sailors (and parents!) visiting the stand. 

RS Heritage Wall: We’ve dusted off the archives and found some absolute gems from the last 30+ years of RS Sailing. Take a walk down memory lane with our heritage wall to see event photographs, RS newsletters, and brochures – some going back as far as the early ’90s! You might even recognise a few faces from back in the day…

Meet The RS Class Associations

We’re also joined on the stand by representatives from our UK Class Associations, who can help chat to you first-hand about:

  • Membership benefits
  • 2026/27 event calendars
  • National championships and training opportunities
  • How to get involved

The strength of the RS community is central to everything we do – and the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show is the perfect place to connect. We look forward to welcoming you on 21st – 22nd February 2026 at Farnborough International.

See you at the show!
