About Us
Our story
The idea of creating this club was born out of a deep love for sailing. Step by step, the dream grew into an idea: to build a community — a place that brings together people who share the same passion and values.
“For us, sailing is not just a business — it’s a feeling of freedom. It’s the wind, the open sea, and the moments that make you feel truly alive. We want to share this feeling with you — to inspire, connect, and create unforgettable experiences together.”
“My name is Ihor and I’m an Olympic champion. For me, yachting is far more than just a sport — it is my entire life. I’ve been in this sport for almost 50 years.”
“My name is Alina. I came to sailing three years ago in search of emotions and new experiences. Through training sessions, races and a gradual immersion into this world, sailing became something truly special for me as well.”
Not just sailing.
A place to belong.
RS21 Cyprus is built around people, not pressure. We don’t sell “membership levels” or push targets. We create a space where newcomers feel included quickly and experienced sailors feel engaged.
Here, community is not declared. It grows naturally through shared training, shared effort, and time on the water.
Not just sailing.
A place to belong.
With each session you feel more confident, connected, and united with wind and waves.
We focus on creating an environment where members feel welcome, supported, and motivated to keep coming back.
