Are you thinking of joining the RS400 class? If so, come and find out why this class remains so popular, over 25 years after it was launched, with great turnouts at Nationals and regional events and a 50-boat National Championships.

Our RS Class Association demo boat will be based at Hollingworth Lake SC from 23rd November to 24th November and will then move to at Leigh & Lowton until 20th March 2022.

So far this year at least four pairs have joined the fleet, following demo sails. Could you be next?

The Class Association would like to thank the generous supporters who have helped keep the boat in tip top condition:

The Class Association are also grateful to the volunteers from the class who look after the boat and assist sailors, particularly Andy Powell, David Swift, Paul Reynolds and Dave Exley, and now at Hollingworth, Adam Din.

For more information and to book a test sail contact or 07886 493186.
