Company history

When the company’s founding fathers Martin Wadhams and Nick Peters decided in 1992 to launch the first RS400 and RS600 models, they dreamed of a structure that would evolve and preserve the company’s spirit. Indeed, the RS Sailing range was rapidly expanding, as was the community of RS Sailing adherents, who began to feel like literally one family.

A passion for sailing and new technology has made the shipyard the market leader in small sports and cruise vessels.

The RS Sailing models have won numerous international design awards, such as the RS21 recently. Many RS Sailing classes have been recognized by World Sailing and RYA. Also today RS Sailing is a partner of the World Sailing Connect program, which aims to attract masses to sailing at any level.
