RS Sailing – Covid19 Update

November 4, 2020
RS21

As England prepares to go into a second lockdown, we are battening down the hatches here at RS HQ to keep our customers and the RS Team safe, ensuring production and preparations continue for 2021. We are so grateful that we were able to get some awesome sailing in this summer and we cannot thank our incredible customers enough for all their ongoing support in 2020.

From Thursday 5 November, RS Sailing HQ in Romsey will be closed to all visitors but the RS Sailing Store will be buzzing to take your orders online. Whether it is over the phone, online over our live chat function or by email, the RS Team are here to help with every RS boat and part query you can muster.

We’re firing back up the Stay At Home offers including, 25% off all splicing accessories and 15% off of Harken hardware goodies, head to the RS Sailing Store and use the ‘STAYATHOME’ voucher code. Don’t forget that RS Sailors Club members also get 25% off all rope purchases, 15% off Allen blocks and fittings and 15% off Clothing!

Our Click & Collect service will be suspended until the new measures are lifted, with all parts orders being sent out by mail order. If you’re lucky enough to be due to collect your very own new RS in the next few weeks, please get in touch with our logistics team who will be happy to arrange delivery with you.

So whether you’re planning to be boat bimbling in the garage, binge-watching epic sailing videos, dreaming about your next RS event or furiously trying to remember your virtual regatta password, we hope you and your families all stay safe and well.

From Jon, Alex & the RS Team
