RS Passing's History and Philosophy:
RS Sailing was born from a passion to use the latest design and technology to create inspiring boats. Starting from a heritage in flat-out racing classes, the RS Sailing range has expanded to include boats for beginners, families, clubs, and schools, all developed with a desire to move the game forward.
RS Sailing is proud that their designs have built some of the most vibrant class communities worldwide and have been chosen by leading organizations globally. From humble beginnings, RS Sailing has grown into the world's largest small-sailboat brand.
Cultural Values and Community Spirit:
The idea of RS originated from a group of sailors who wanted to advance sailing by using the latest design and technology to make higher performance more accessible and inspiring. They aimed to build exciting events and foster a friendly RS sailing community. The RS family includes sailors from singles to doubles, across different generations, sharing a passion for sailing and community spirit.
A significant part of their culture is that RS Sailing is run by sailors, for sailors, with an obsession to make sailing more exciting, popular, and provide great service.
Development Process and Expertise:
RS Sailing's development process involves close involvement with sailors, design experts, and top manufacturers in hulls, sails, and spars. They use state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology, rapid prototyping, extensive testing, and customer feedback to refine their boats.
Production is outsourced to select the best materials and manufacturing systems per model and market, ensuring innovation, quality, and manufacturing efficiency.
RS sailboats have won multiple international design awards, and their dedicated team has contributed significant expertise and enthusiasm to their success.
Events and Associations:
RS boats are supported by independent Class Associations that organize events characterized by high-quality racing and social gatherings. These events foster camaraderie among sailors of all ages and skill levels. RS Sailing's community is known for its inclusive and vibrant atmosphere, contributing to the ongoing popularity of the brand.
Each race-boat has a Class Association responsible for racing, training, rule maintenance, and community interaction.
