Not sure what “nearly new” really means? 🤔 Here's how we grade our used kit at RS Sailing Store…

Our grading process is pretty thorough, so every item is rated out of 5:

⭐ Grade 5 – As good as new, straight out of the packaging or used for a show/demo
⭐ Grade 4 – Lightly used and still in great condition
⭐ Grade 3 – Good, usable training or club racing kit

From sails and covers to all sorts of other RS equipment, everything is priced to sell. We'd much rather see it out on the water than sitting on our shelves!

https://www.rssailingstore.com/Catalogue/RS-Parts/RS-Sailing-Used-Sails-and-Covers

Our used stock is constantly changing, so if something catches your eye, give the team a call on +44 (0)1794 526 760 (option 1) or email [email protected] and have a chat with us.

You never know what you might find… 👀

Top 10 reasons why the RS Quest is our best selling family & training boat:

1. Spacious - large, self-draining cockpit comfortably accommodates up to four.
2. Stable - exceptionally stable hull gives confidence to sailors of all ages and abilities.
3. Educational - ideal entry-level, multi-person teaching boat for learning to sail.
4. Adaptable - compact enough to handle easily both ashore and afloat.
5. Convenient - mainsail slab reefing and a jib furler make sailing simple and manageable.
6. Friendly - pivoting centreboard and lift & lock rudder make launching and recovery easy.
7. Practical - foredeck provides additional storage for days on the water.
8. Durable - built for max. strength, min. maintenance, season after season.
9. Versatile - equally at home as a training dinghy or a family boat for weekend adventures.

💨 BORN TO BLAST! 💨 RS CAT12 GOES FULL SEND!

Mat is back with another epic RS CAT12 adventure - and this time, he's putting the boat to the ultimate test in 25-34 knot gusts! 😮

This video is packed with handy tips; from a quick 20-minute rigging and set-up guide, to practical cruising mods and a capsize/righting demo.

Then it's time to SEND IT and hit a new PB… “That's nuts! It's hard to believe this is full rig, full sail! I'm not even reefed in this big breeze”

A stacked fleet of 71 boats descended upon Eastbourne Sovereign Sailing Club for the Rooster RS Aero 5, 6 & 7 UK National Championship and International Open.

Mega doesn't quite cover it: "It was big breeze, a strong tidal pull, and huge sea waves, with plenty of capsizes alongside the action-packed racing!" says Andy Kilburn, who competed in the RS Aero 6s alongside supporting the event with the RS Sailing Store van.

With only 1 day of racing AP'd (inspiring an impromptu mini golf championship ashore), the fleets managed to get 7 races in total, and some great socials including the class dinner and AGM, a talk by adventurer Stick Daring, and Singo Bingo (singing optional). 🎤
