Awesome Social Programme
As you would expect from RS, the RS Games is about so much more than just the sailing. Our awesome social programme will keep you entertained, fed and watered from the day you arrrive until the final sunset. We have something for everyone, from the big RS parties and Championship dinners, to laid back BBQs, chill out meals and fun inflatable games. All events are open to all, so why not come down a few days before your start to soak up the atmosphere or stay on afterwards and truly let your hair down once your racing is complete?
There will be special themed food nights throughout the games, with every fleets favourites - think curry, bangers & mash, Italian... Tickets for these can be booked with your entry or via the RS Games shop. Please be warned - with 1000+ sailors on site, we can't guarantee availabilty on the night.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLINE SALES WILL CLOSE PRIOR TO REGISTRATION FOR EACH FLEET
Check out the details below. Please note that all timings are subject to change to fit in with the racing.
