RS Sailing has entered into a new partnership with British boat builder Gingerboats Racing.
The collaboration will see Gingerboats Racing take on the manufacturing of the double handed dinghy, the RS200.
Gingerboats Racing was established in 2011 and uses both traditional methods and also the latest in modern design and construction techniques.
“This is an opportunity not only to expand our one-design manufacturing but to also be a key part of one of the largest active racing classes in the UK,” said Phil Hodgkins, Gingerboats Racing director. “RS Sailing’s desire to celebrate British manufacturing, sustainable practices and premium quality aligns with our own ambitions and we are looking forward to building the relationship with them.”
Jon Partridge, RS Sailing CEO, added: “We are really pleased to partner with Gingerboats Racing, they are a trusted British boat builder well-known for their passion and love for our sport.
“We believe that this is an exciting new era for the RS200 and the class.”
Manufacturing of the RS200 is already underway at Gingerboats Racing Cumbrian workshop and both parties are anticipating an exciting time for the class with championship attendance of more than 100 boats the norm.
