A New Chapter in Canada: Rooster x RNSYS

11th August 2025

We’re proud to announce our new partnership with the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (RNSYS)—the oldest yacht club in the Americas—marking the start of an exciting new chapter for Rooster in Canada. After beginning our support earlier this season, we’re now officially the Squadron’s technical clothing provider for 2025 and beyond, supplying high-performance apparel for sailors, staff, and major events both on and off the water.

Kicking Off with a Major Youth Sailing Event

Our first supported event under this partnership will be the Canadian Optimist Nationals, hosted at RNSYS from August 16–22, 2025. This premier youth sailing event will welcome some of the most promising young sailors from across Canada, and we’re looking forward to providing technical gear designed to keep them comfortable and performing at their best.

Looking Ahead – Foiling and High-Performance Sailing

Following the Opti Nationals, our partnership continues in October with the CANFOIL Cup—a key event on the Canadian foiling calendar. The regatta also incorporates the WASZP Nationals and Foiling Provincials, showcasing some of the most exciting and progressive aspects of modern sailing.

A Shared Vision for the Future

"We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron—a club with deep heritage and a bold vision for the future of sailing in Canada," says Kate Morrison, Head of Marketing & Product at Rooster. "This is more than just a sponsorship; it’s a shared commitment to supporting all levels of sailing and foiling, from youth development to cutting-edge performance."

This partnership marks Rooster’s first major club collaboration in Canada, reinforcing our growing presence in North America and our dedication to supporting sailors at every level. Together with RNSYS, we look forward to building a strong future for the sport in 2025 and beyond.
