2025 sees the RS Fest return to Blessington Sailing Club in the Wicklow Mountains, a convenient travel destination that removes the need for long-distance travel from all four corners of the country.
Canice and his team are very busy in preparation for the 2025 edition after such a successful time with all the active competing RS classes in 2023 and 2024.
Blessington Sailing Club is a family-oriented club with a strong presence of RS classes, including the Feva, Aero, 200, and 400, which regularly sail on the lake.
The RS Aero singlehander will compete on Blessington Lake at RSFest 2025
For 2025, the RS Fest is guaranteed to have all the active RS racing classes represented in Blessington, including the well-known youth RS Fevas, the competitive RS 200 and RS 400 fleets and the ultra-modern RS Aero single-hander.
Racing will occur over the weekend of the 28th and 29th of June.
Registration will be open from Friday evening, allowing sailors to set up early to prep for a full day of racing on Saturday. Camping opportunities are available at the yacht club.
For young or old sailors who may be interested in taking to the water for the first time, Irish RS Agents, MarineServices.ie will have some of their demo fleet on location, including the RS Tera, RS Neo and RS Zest for new sailors to try their hand at the sport and test out the latest models from RS Sailing.
For sailors looking to sample new boats and minimise travel hassles, MarineServices will have a variety of charter boats available, including the RS Feva and RS Aero boats.
