30th Birthday Party

Drum roll, please! Join us on the stand at 5pm on Saturday, 24th February, for the first of many parties this year to celebrate our 30th Birthday!

Are you not a fan of doing things online? Head to the RS Sailing stand at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show, and we will help you arrange the Sailors Club membership to suit your needs.

Join the RS Team

RS Marine Group is growing, so we are constantly looking for passionate individuals to join the RS Team. We know that creating a CV and sending it in for a role is a daunting process, so if, like most of the RS Team, you would prefer to be surrounded by boats whilst having an informal chat, then we’ve got the perfect opportunity for you! 

Jon Partridge, RS Marine Group CEO, will be available each day of the RYA Dinghy & Watersport Show from 3:00pm to 4:00pm on the RS Sailing stand for a chat with individuals who would love to work for the RS Marine Group. From the workshop, administration, events, sales and technical roles, we have some great opportunities for you to join the team!

RS21 Class Welcome

Join the RS21 UK & Ireland Class on the RS Sailing stand at 2pm on Saturday, 24th February.

Open to all, whether you’re a current or aspirational member! Grab a coffee and enjoy a Class Welcome; find out more about the 2024 UK & Ireland Event Calendar, and they’ll wrap it up with the hotly anticipated 2024 Worlds Announcement.

Treasure Hunt

We’re so excited to be part of the RYA treasure hunt for the 2024 show. For children of all ages, on arrival, pick up a map and navigate around the hall collecting clues and treasure from exhibitors along the way. Find all the clues and you’ll also have the chance to win prizes!

RS Class Associations

We have our wonderful RS Class Association volunteers on hand to help with any of your class association questions. With advice on how to join the class, training weekends, racing events, other local boats and fantastic socials, they’re worth stopping to chat with whilst on the stand, whether you’re an active or aspiring member.

The RS Team

We pretty much empty out RS HQ to ensure our stand is filled with RS Team experts for you to chat away with over the course of the weekend. We have an obsession with making sailing more exciting and giving great service to everyone who trusts us enough to buy one of our boats. We’ve got an experienced team here at RS; whether it’s the first time you have considered sailing as a hobby or you’re looking for help with a tricky boat bimble that will give you the edge on the racecourse – the friendly RS Team are always on hand to help.
