History
1957 - H.Taylor & Son (Brockley) Ltd incorporated in the UK on 29 October 1957.
Traded as Racing Sailboats and London Dinghy Centre (LDC) in South East London.
RS Sailing has a boat design, manufacture and fit outside of the business, a chandlery side, and a range of clothing, headwear, footwear, bags, harnesses, sunglasses, helmets, and other kit for sailors and beach goers.
RS have over 60 dealers worldwide.
RS Sailing is the largest small boat manufacturer in the world.
The most common boat seen by RS is the Quest. The company said "The RS Quest is our most popular teaching/training and family boat. A completely modern design that is both comfortable, simple, strong, and stable. ... Quest is an easy to trailer, easy to rig, and fun to sail family boat. For programs and yacht clubs, the Quest offers generous space that makes new sailors comfortable." If you know about RS you will likely know about the RS Quest. The Quest is also easy to use because of how it interacts with wind. The sails can be reefed which helps learners in the harsh winds.
