Marine Services in Dún Laoghaire has opened its annual RS Winter Sail Order, offering RS sailors the opportunity to organise new sails, covers, spars and foils ahead of the 2027 season. The accredited RS dealer says the scheme aims to let sailors replace worn equipment during the winter rather than waiting until fleets return to the water in spring.

Five Per Cent Discount

A 5% discount is available on sails and covers ordered before the deadline, with a 50% deposit required to secure an order.

Marine Services works with RS sailors throughout the year, including the RS Feva and RS Aero fleets, and runs the Winter Sail Order annually. The company says sailors unsure what needs replacing can contact its team for advice and send photographs of existing sails or equipment for assessment.

Dún Laoghaire Collection or Delivery

Orders can be collected from Marine Services in Dún Laoghaire when they arrive, while delivery can also be arranged. The deadline for the 2026 Winter Sail Order is Friday, 25 September, with equipment ordered for delivery ahead of the spring 2027 season.

Marine Services can be contacted on +353 1 233 0206, by WhatsApp on +353 83 200 2377, or at [email protected].

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
