Most members arrive without a crew and without experience.
From the very first session, you:
- you meet the crew you’ll sail with
- you are given a clear role on the boat
- you are guided and encouraged, not pressured
Training is structured but supportive. Progress happens naturally because the environment is clear, calm, and focused.
Begin your sailing journey!
There is a simple and clear path at RS21 Cyprus:
with your Crew
in a Race
No one is rushed.
Everyone moves at their own pace.
When a goal appears — whether it’s confidence, consistency, or competition — the club helps you work towards it.
Training is led by Igor Matvienko, an Olympic champion and an experienced coach. He won Olympic gold in Atlanta 1996, placed 6th at the Sydney 2000 Games, and finished 9th in Athens 2004.
Igor has also worked as a coach for national Olympic teams and brings over five years of experience in professional sailing projects such as TP52 and RC44.
His approach is practical and inspirational:
- mistakes are part of learning
- communication within the crew becomes clearer
- confidence builds without pressure
This is not complicated theory or elite language. It’s clear, effective sailing that works.
Why RS21 boats

It makes learning effortless and every sail enjoyable from day one.
Many arrive on their own.
Most leave feeling part of something shared.
If you’ve been curious about sailing, this is your sign.
