See You at METSTRADE! RS Sailing Team Attending This November

November 13, 2025

METSTRADE is back at RAI Amsterdam from 18th – 20th November 2025, and the RS Marine Group and RS Sailing teams are ready to dive in. Our team is looking forward to reconnecting with suppliers, federations, our dealer network and key stakeholders across the marine industry – to talk all things RS and beyond.

Walking the halls and representing RS at this year’s show will be RS Sailing’s Commercial Director Michiel Geerling, Managing Director Jon Partridge and Dealer Sales Manager Ben Wallis. RS Marine Group’s Alex Newton-Southon will also be in attendance. 

“METSTRADE is always a fantastic opportunity to meet other professionals, make connections, and discuss the latest innovations,” says Michiel. “We’re especially excited to explore new ways to collaborate with leisure marine companies, expanding our reach across both the adventure and beach sectors, as well as our racing and training ranges.”

Ben Wallis is attending for the first time this year and will be making the most of the event to connect with RS Sailing’s global network of distributors and dealers.

“I’m really looking forward to attending METSTRADE,” says Ben. “It’s a great opportunity to meet our suppliers and dealers face-to-face, strengthen relationships and share ideas. We’ll have dealers joining us from across Europe – and even a few flying in from the USA!”

With innovation, sustainability and collaboration at the heart of RS Sailing’s mission, METSTRADE 2025 promises to be an inspiring few days for our team and partners alike.
