RBS Marine Brand Partners to SAC 22

The Sea Angling Classic, an exciting new fishing competition for the Solent and will run from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard from 15th-19th June 2022.

RBS Marine are a brand partner for the event, and are very excited to be involved.

There are also a couple of ways that Rodman Owners can get involved with what is sure to be a fun and exciting event with some serious fishin’ and a massive prize table!

A number of Rodman boats and owners took part last year in a special ‘Media Launch Event’ for the Sea Angling Classic in June 2021. Ben and Paul from RBS Marine took out Rodman 1040 ‘Petina May’ and learnt a huge amount about competitive fishing and what the competition entails. The media launch event saw thirty boats heading out to compete with a £30,000 prize table. The full 2022 event will see places for over 100 boats and a prize table with a value of a staggering £150,000 – with first prize being a boat!

RBS Marine have been allocated spaces for Rodman boats in the competition, and although most of the spaces are filled, there are still a couple left. If you fancy getting in on the competition, here are some of the key bits of info you need to know:

• When? The competition runs from the 15th – 19th June 2022, with registration events, opening ceremonies and boat parades on the 15th and 16th, the competition on 17th and 18th and the prize giving ceremony on the 19th.
