Live in the Netherlands, curious about the RS21 and keen to experience the buzz for yourself? Here’s your chance.
RS Sailing Netherlands dealer Aquavitesse is hosting an RS21 Demo Day on Sunday 22nd March 2026 at Marina Port Zélande, Netherlands – and you’re invited.
Get Onboard and See What It’s All About
Whether you’re new to one-design keelboats or have experience racing them, this demo day is the perfect opportunity to step onboard the RS21 and discover why it’s become such a popular choice worldwide.
Since its launch in 2018, the RS21 has rapidly built a reputation within the one-design sailing community. It’s equally at home as a competitive private owner race boat or as part of a club-owned fleet programme – delivering close, tactical racing that rewards skill and teamwork.
Modern, Accessible, Competitive
The RS21 is a modern 4-person keelboat featuring 6.67m hull length, 64.6m² sail area and a thriving international racing scene. Designed to be accessible yet seriously competitive, the RS21 offers exciting performance while remaining manageable for crews of varying experience levels.
Marieke Rot from Aquavitesse sums it up perfectly: “This boat lives and breathes one-design racing. What’s great about it is that it’s super accessible – crews of all abilities can race it. It really inspires and rewards teamwork.”
A True One-Design Experience
The RS21 is World Sailing accredited, with active class associations at both national and international level. Supported by dedicated class managers, the class runs regional circuits, a EuroCup series, plus European and World Championships – creating clear pathways from club racing right through to the global stage.
