Introducing the International RS Feva Association
Welcome to the website of the most phenomenal 2 man dinghy of the 21st century. The figures are amazing – 4500 boats worldwide in 8 years with approx 500 more being added every year. In excess of 150 boats at the world championships. Competition is hotting up everywhere with huge growth everywhere. The International Association is here to assist all sailors, coaches, countries and families to achieve their dreams…
This brilliant boat develops top level racing talent as attested by the 4 sailors who have already gone on to win Gold at the ISAF Youth Worlds. Don’t bet against some of them doing similar things at the Olympics. The RS Feva is rapidly becoming the doublehanded pathway development boat of choice before moving into the 29er, 420 or other 2 man high performance dinghy - in fact anything else, whether hardcore racing or not!
The class ethos though, is about more than just developing the elite, it is about being inclusive, welcoming of all, and above all – enjoyment of sailing and the events. We like to help, advise, encourage and support every sailor. Our twin ideals are to produce sailors who will love sailing all their lives as well as those who may perform at elite level in due course.
The principal contact is your International Class secretary, Golly Tucker who can be contacted on golly@rsfeva.org . Please do contact us and let us know of news and events.
For our part, we’ll put news up on the website as and when we get it from you. We will organise World & European Championships in great places. We will promote your international events. We will assist you with coaching your coaches. To be able to do this – please let us know how we can help.
Enjoy!
