An importer of world-class sailing boats for Chinese sailing federations, associations and individual athletes, BJ HHH is based in Beijing and supports a range of sailing programs with activity and event organisation too.
Celebrating three decades this year, RS Sailing was born from a passion to use the latest design and technology to create inspiring boats. Evolving from designing and manufacturing heritage racing fleets, the award-winning RS Sailing range has grown to include boats for beginners, families as well as clubs and sail training programs. The brand now represents some of the most vibrant class association-oriented communities in the world, chosen by industry leading organisations globally. RS Sailing is the world’s largest small-sailboat brand, distributing over 3,000 boats per year to all corners of the globe, and BJ HH has now joined the RS family as the distributor for China.
BJ HHH signed the distributor agreement in a ceremony at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show in February. Officials from the company flew to the UK to attend the event in Farnborough International. BJ HHH CEO Rean Chen met with RS Marine Group CEO Jon Partridge for the official signing.
The first shipment of boats departed to China from RS Sailing’s warehouse last month, and will arrive in China this month. The range includes models from the RS Tera, RS Zest, RS Quest, RS Feva and RS Aero fleets.

The diversified RS Sailing products will play an important role in promoting the comprehensive development of China’s sailing sport.”

They provide better options for professional sailors.”

Beijing HHH will co-operate closely with RS Sailing to promote Chinese sailing events, training, and other activities.”
