Three decades apart, side by side, can you spot the difference?

Our Managing Director Alex Newton-Southon and Head of GRP Production Marty Miller compare a 1996 RS 200 with a brand new 2026 model - and it's remarkable just how true the boats remain to the original design.

The 1996 boat (205) was found on a listing and bought as a passion project by members of the RS Sailing team, who restored it for the show - proving just what's possible when you buy a used boat and give it some love.

The RS200 is known for attracting rock stars and newbies like almost no other class. It was one of our first models and it remains one of our favourites, and 30 years on, the class still boast such a vibrant community.

Marty talks through the strength of the RS200's one-design philosophy, why these boats stand the test of time, and the production improvements made over the years. With new RS200s now built completely in-house at RS Cowes, enhanced quality control is delivering the best-finished boats yet.

Built to last. Built to race. Built for everyone.

We're a huge fan of the latest addition to the RS Aero accessories range - the all-new RS Aero HoverBoost™ thrust attachment.

Transform your RS Aero into a high-performance hovercraft and leave drifting starts behind. Finding yourself at the back of the fleet? No problem - just turbo-charge your push to the finish line with a little extra apparent wind.

RS Sailing Store's Andy Kilburn took the prototype for a spin: "It's incredible. I'm absolutely BLOWN away by this new product." 💨

(Subject to class rules, battery life, and suspicious looks from the race committee).

It was great to see so many members of the RS Sailing family at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show - especially everyone from the RS Class Associations. Our offers are still live for a few more days: www.rssailingstore.com

We’ve got some exciting news… 👀

After working closely with the RS Class Associations and our suppliers, we've been able to reduce sail prices across our 'Noughty' Classes by an average of 20%.

This isn't just a show special at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show… it's here to stay for the rest of the year.

This is our 2026 pledge - making it more affordable to get on the water, stay competitive, and keep racing hard all season long.
