The RS Class Association is delighted to confirm that Rooster will once again continue its sponsorship of the RS100, RS300, RS400, RS500, RS600, RS700, RS800 and RS Vareo Rooster National Tours, alongside the RS200 Rooster Championship Tour, for 2026.

Rooster will continue to generously support the tours by providing prizes for event winners and Endeavour sailors at each event. This reflects the shared commitment of both the RS Class Association and Rooster to encourage participation, enjoyment and progression at all levels across the fleets. In addition, all RS Class Association members will receive an individual £25 voucher (valid on a £100 spend) for Rooster-branded products when they renew their membership.

For 2026, prizes will include specially produced RS Class Association-branded Joey bottle holders. Designed by RS sailor Emma McEwen in collaboration with Rooster, these innovative neoprene bottle holders feature adjustable webbing straps and have been tested for secure attachment across the RS 'Noughty' classes. Designed for practicality on the water, they allow one-handed bottle access and accommodate most bottles up to 1 litre in size.

Luke Morrison, Managing Director of Rooster, said:

"We are genuinely proud to continue our partnership with the RS Class Association in 2026. These fleets represent everything we value in sailing - strong communities, inclusivity, and a shared enjoyment of being on the water. Over many years, it has been a privilege to support sailors at all stages of their journey, from first events through to long-term campaigners. The passion and commitment shown by the class volunteers and sailors alike is what makes these classes so special, and we are delighted to remain part of that story for another year."

The 2026 season promises to be an exciting one for the RS classes, with National and Championship Tour venues selected by the voluntary class committees for their strong home fleets, welcoming environments and high-quality race management.
