Sailing Development Program
RS21 Member Series
The second RS21 Member Series will take place in March & April 2024. After a successful first series in late 2023, this series is all about getting a crew together on fun, easy-to-sail one-design keelboats, and enjoying an hour of short racing before heading back to the Members Bar for the Friday Member Draw.
The Notice of Race is available and you can enter via the link below or the Keelboat Online Entry page. The entry fee is $180 for the series including the charter of an RS21 for the series. That’s just $15 per sailor per race day!

RS21 Fleet
The RS21 One Design is a modern keelboat designed with corinthian racing at its heart – keelboat racing the RS way.
Finished and completed so you can enjoy close one-design sailing without the complex choices. The powerful rig and distinct chines are balanced by well-mannered boat handling and an ergonomic deck layout to ensure everyone sailing has a key role to play and yet ease of use.
For those passionate about our planet, the RS21 was developed with sustainability at the core of its design not only in terms of materials but also the carbon footprint of the supply chain, a reduction in single-use plastics and efficient logistics.
The RS21 International Class is going from strength to strength, with fleets growing over three continents and a national and international racing calendar that is escalating each year. Corinthian sailing, epicly close racing and a class built around removing the arms race, the RS21 is the future of keelboat racing and everything you’d expect from an RS racing class.
