The company describes itself as the world’s largest manufacturer of small sailing boats and supplies private individuals, sailing schools, water sports clubs and class organisations through a global dealer network. Many RS designs have gone on to become international one-design classes.

For training and family use, there are the Quest, Zest, Toura, Venture and Neo, supplemented by the catamarans CAT12, CAT14 and CAT16.
