Meet the team, explore two versatile dinghies, and discover the RS range for sailing programmes across the USA.
RS Sailing is delighted to be represented by its US distributor, Zim Sailing, at the Annapolis Sailboat Show, taking place October 15-18, 2026. Led by Sam Patterson, the knowledgeable team will be on hand at the Zim Sailing booth to answer questions, share their expertise, and help sailors, clubs, camps and sailing programme representatives find the right boats for their needs.
Visitors can discover two highlights from the RS range: the popular RS Zest and the award-winning RS Toura.
RS Zest: A proven favourite for sailing programmes
A firm favourite with camps, clubs and learn-to-sail programmes across the USA and around the world, the RS Zest combines a stable, spacious cockpit with durable, low-maintenance construction. Designed for one to three sailors, it is easy to rig, simple to handle and ideal for introducing newcomers to sailing while giving developing sailors the confidence to progress. Its robust rotomoulded polyethylene hull and practical features make it particularly well suited to the demands of busy summer camps and community sailing fleets.
RS Toura: Award-winning space, stability and versatility
The RS Toura brings a fresh approach to recreational sailing and programme boats, offering generous cockpit space, excellent stability and the versatility to suit a wide range of activities. With room for larger groups, it is an exciting option for camps and sailing centres looking to take more people afloat, as well as families seeking a capable day-sailing cruising dinghy. Practical features include a reefing mainsail, furling jib and optional accessories that allow programmes to tailor the boat to their needs. Recognised as Sailing World's 2024 Dinghy of the Year, the RS Toura is an exciting addition to the RS Adventure range.
