The core team at RS Sailing are life-long sailors who love being on the water. We like to think that we’ve developed some great boats for people like us and for the next generation of sailors, so we want to do our part to protect the environment we all enjoy sailing in. This is why we have developed a guide to what we can be doing to become more sustainable at our events.
