We were reading a recent edition of Sail World when we came across the article below about RS Sailing's new dealership in China. As the Chinese recreational boating market grows we hope sailing will be a big part of it. Like everywhere else in the world, a recreational pastime that is fueled by windpower will be better for the environment and better for the participants! Summer Sailstice is a great opportunity for all sailors in China to celebrate with the rest of the world.
Our friend Doug Sparks, a partner at RS dealer Omnia Marine, is helping develop the business and sailing in China. Great work Doug.
From Sail World: RS Sailing is proud to announce that the RS Range received a prestigious award at the fourth running of the Asian Marine and Boating Awards in Shanghai, presented on the first evening of the China International Boat Show. The RS Range beat off stiff competition in the Best Dayboat, Sportboat or Dinghy category because it had 'introduced many people to sailing in recent years and, having provided many thousands of people with their first introductions to sailing in Europe, are now bringing their expertise and range to Asia'.
RS, through its Chinese dealer Omnia Marine, is expected to play a big part in helping to build boating and the marine industry in China over the coming years. Omnia Marine is based in Shenzhen and has offices spread all along the coast, enabling them to offer first class service to customers in all the growing boating regions of China.
