RS200
The club RS200 is ready for Summer and ready for hire. We've just purchased a shiny new trolley, fitted a new main halyard/cleat/pully, and fitted new toe straps. Towards the end of last year we purchased a new suite of sails and the slot gasket is going to be replaced shortly. This is a fantastic club boat and hire costs are ridiculously low at only £12.50 per session for juniors and £25.00 for adults.
