Investing in a new boat is not always an easy decision, but once you have made it you want to get the most out of it. For the majority of us, the simple way of measuring this is the amount of time you get to use your new boat. From the keen racers, to the family cruisers we all have different needs and expectations when it comes to time on the water. The balance of supply and demand is an interesting one and a challenge we can have here at RS Sailing, as a UK based company we proudly sell our “Built in the UK” sailboat range across the globe. Managing demands across different seasons around the world can be a tricky task.

 

As much as we would love to have a boat available immediately when you call to place your order, this isn’t always possible. There are pressure points and a bit of forward planning can help all parties sail comfortably through. For the racers amongst us, its natural that we all want our boats ready for the start of the season in March/April, whereas the more fair weather sailors amongst us might prefer to wait until the start of the summer. Here at RS Sailing, we operate a fully refundable deposit system where you can reserve your place in our build schedule to ensure you get your boat as close to your ideal date as possible and ensure you get to sail your new boat when you want to.

 

With the season in the UK really kicking off in March, there is no better time than now to plan ahead and get in touch with our Sales Team to discuss your needs and reserve your boat. But what if I want to alter the spec after paying a deposit? Do not worry, we can adjust the order at any point to match your requirements.
