Want to Try Out an RS21? Join the Demo Day in the Netherlands

February 12, 2026

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. Check out the top events in 2026 here.

Demo Day Details

The demo day takes place the day after the finale of the Grevelingen Cup, Sunday the 22th of March running from 09:30 – 15:00 at Marina Port Zélande.

On the day, you can expect:

  • A full introduction to the RS21 on the water in morning
  • Racing in the RS21 in the afternoon
  • Expert guidance and insights
  • Lunch included
  • Cost: €35 per person

If you’re ready to experience the RS21 for yourself, sign up now via emailing rssailing@aquavitesse.nl and secure your place.

The team at Aquavitesse look forward to seeing you on the water!
