RS Feva Fleet
Single-design, hiking, spinnaker boat ideal for youths and parent-child teams.
RLymYC RS Feva Fleet
The RS Feva is the world’s best-selling two-person sailboat in recent years. It is a one design, hiking, asymmetric spinnaker boat, ideal for youngsters and parent/child combinations to sail before transitioning to a 29er or 420 or any other double hander. The boat offers the chance to sail with a friend and the opportunity to learn how to fly an asymmetric spinnaker. The suggested combined sailor weight is 85 to 110kg. The Feva is built using a hard-wearing pioneering construction technique which is virtually indestructible and has a modern yet simple rig. The class has a competitive National and International racing circuit and is an RYA Supported Junior class.

Feva Sailing in Lymington
The Royal Lymington Yacht Club RS Feva Fleet is a growing fleet, with young sailors transitioning from both the Optimist and RS Tera pathway into this excellent double-hander. A number of Lymington helms and crews have been selected for the RYA Regional Training Groups, which have replaced the previous National Squad and Class Squad.
Regular training takes place throughout the season, including over the winter months and sailors are encouraged to take part in the club’s regular evening races. The club has four boats available for members to hire, which can be used for training or racing.
Feva Coaching
Lymington hosts an active Feva sailing community, comprising boys and girls of various skill levels, from novices to top-tier performers nationally. The club arranges frequent coaching sessions, incorporating fleet racing and team racing, fostering boat handling expertise and strategic prowess. Team racing, particularly, cultivates a deep understanding of rules and tactics, crucial for achieving overall victory against rival teams. Many sailors transitioning to university and joining sailing teams there often learn team racing, making this an excellent opportunity to acquire this skill.
Additionally, parents are encouraged to volunteer as helms or crew members for safety ribs, with the club offering RYA PB2 courses year-round, partially funded for Full/Family Members.

“Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!”
“On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.”
“We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!”
“On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!”
“The Burns Night was brilliant! Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success! Everything was perfect!”
“I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.”
