- Written by Steve Cockerill    When I started the brand, I was so keen to break down the divide between those who knew how to sail a boat and those who didn’t. I was passionate about sharing knowledge — giving people the confidence to enjoy the sport more. It really all started with me being quietly determined to improve the mainsheet on a Laser (now the ILCA). That was my first goal. I’d tried working with some well-known rope manufacturers, but nothing was quite right. Then I had a brainwave and decided to try it myself. I bought a couple of miles of rope based on that idea… and it worked. People loved it. The breakthrough moment came when I shared it with Robert Scheidt — who was the No. 1 Laser sailor in the world at the time — and he faxed me back saying how much he liked it and asking for more. I’ve still got that fax to this day. That was the spark that made me think, maybe I really could do this. It started in a room upstairs in my house… then a spare room and a shed in the garden… then a double garage and the lounge… then a small unit, then two units, and then a bigger unit. Now, we’ve got a warehouse and office in the UK and a distribution unit in the US — and we’re just about keeping up! I’m still amazed when I look outside and see how many cars are there… and how many great people are working at Rooster, helping it grow. It’s taken a long time — and a lot of passion — to build the brand. Friends of mine used to say, “You’ll need at least a million pounds to turn a vision into a brand.” But I thought, no — you just need to make products people really need. Maybe I was a bit naïve. It’s definitely taken more than just money to get Rooster to where it is today. It’s always been a passion project — and it still is. We’re always checking ourselves, asking if we’re being fair to our customers. And it’s still great fun to represent the brand at events, chat to sailors, and see people enjoying the sport. That’s the best bit. Every now and then people think I’ve retired — which is quite funny, because I haven’t! I’ve just changed my outlook. My wife finally retired from a high-pressure job in school senior leadership, and together we’ve managed to share the workload I used to carry — particularly on logistics and factory liaison. We even split my salary, which has given me a better balance… it’s less five or six days a week now and more like two or three. Handing over the day-to-day running of Rooster to Luke Morrison wasn’t hard at all. Luke had grown up with Rooster — he first joined us as maternity cover, but quickly showed himself to be a real force. He’s brilliant at building relationships with our dealers… a total diplomat, to be honest. In fact, I think I was holding him back! Luke’s got so much drive, it made complete sense for him to take the lead. You might think that would be hard as the founder — but I know Luke’s as committed to Rooster and its ethos as I am. So now, I’ve got plenty of time to keep working with our factories, stay close to the logistics, and enough “playtime” to keep me fired and excited for the years ahead.

What I love about Rooster is our team’s passion for technical development, a passion that consistently results in products that truly make sense for the sailing and watersports world. Steve has always been and continues to be a driving force in this process. Alongside Kate, our Head of Product and Marketing, and the wider team, we remain focused on creating products that are thoughtfully engineered, genuinely useful, and represent outstanding value for money. This summer brings some exciting new additions to our range. So whether you're a dinghy sailor, keelboater, or simply someone who loves getting out on the water, there's something here for you. Whatever you choose to invest in this season, we’re confident you won’t be disappointed.

What is the Rooster Big Weekend? Is Rooster Big Weekend just another Black Friday event? Sure, there’s a sale involved - but for us, it’s more than that. At Rooster, we want this weekend to mean something. It’s an opportunity to connect with our community, make our quality gear more accessible, and stay true to our values. Why We Do It We get it - prices are rising everywhere. As a brand dedicated to quality and sustainability, we work hard to keep our products available while holding firm on fair manufacturing practices and responsible sourcing. We know that means some of our products may feel out of reach for some, which is why we created Rooster Big Weekend in the first place: to make it easier for everyone to access the gear they need. By offering special prices for a few days, we’re able to open up our range to a wider audience, so you can keep doing what you love without breaking the bank. How Rooster Big Weekend Is Different Rooster Big Weekend isn’t just about clearing out stock or pushing deals for the sake of it. Instead, we’re committed to offering thoughtful, genuine value. Each year, we focus on making our high-quality, durable products more attainable—without compromising on what makes them last. By creating bundles, exclusive deals, and even a chance to win a $250 Gift Card, we’re hoping to offer something extra for our community. Our Commitment to Thoughtful Shopping We all know that seasonal sales can lead to quick purchases and, sometimes, quick returns. As a brand dedicated to sustainability, we encourage shopping with intention. Choosing durable, well-crafted products not only keeps you geared up longer but reduces unnecessary consumption. This aligns with our mission to minimise waste, conserve resources, and keep our environmental footprint as low as possible.  Rooster Big Weekend gives us the opportunity to share these values and provide gear that fits your needs, all while offering a little extra incentive. As part of our commitment to giving something back during this busy sales period, the Rooster HQ team will be collecting a piece of rubbish for every product sold over the weekend. We’re working alongside our friends and partners at The Final Straw Foundation to make a meaningful impact on the environment we all share. Join Us This Weekend Rooster Big Weekend is more than a sale; it’s our way of saying thank you to the community that supports us. We’re a small team, passionate about inspiring, educating, and making quality sailing and watersports gear accessible to everyone. This weekend, we hope you’ll find the gear that’s right for you, that keeps you in your element… So mark your calendar, explore what’s new, and enjoy the weekend with us. Happy Rooster Big Weekend!  

When Rooster first set sail 25 years ago, its mission was simple: to make high-quality sailing gear accessible to everyone, from novices to seasoned sailors. Over the years, this mission has been upheld by not just a company but a family, both literally and metaphorically. As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on the journey that has made Rooster more than just a brand—it's a legacy built on passion, dedication, and a sense of community.  A Family Company at Heart  Rooster was founded out of passion and love for the sport, which pushed me to create products that enhance sailing to a wider audience. From the beginning, I envisioned Rooster as a family-oriented company. This vision has been a cornerstone of our success, fostering an environment where values such as trust, integrity, and mutual support are paramount.  Many of our current staff members have grown up with Rooster, literally wearing the brand through their youth sailing adventures. It's common to find stories of team members who started as young sailors, donned in Rooster gear, and are now integral parts of our workforce. This continuity and connection have created a unique team spirit where the staff are not just employees—they are family.  Commitment to Quality and Innovation  At Rooster, our commitment to quality and innovation is unwavering. Over the past 25 years, we have continually pushed the boundaries of what sailing gear can be. Our products are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, durability, and performance, ensuring that sailors can focus on what they love most—being on the water.  Our team, bring a wealth of experience and passion to their roles. This connection to the brand's roots ensures that every product we release is crafted with the same care and attention to detail that I envisioned from the start of the journey.  Building a Community  Rooster is more than just a business; it's a community. Our commitment to supporting sailors of all levels has fostered a loyal customer base that spans generations. We are proud to see young sailors, like the children of our early customers, now competing in regattas wearing Rooster gear.  We regularly sponsor events to support and engage with the sailing community which is reflected in the strong bonds we have formed with sailing clubs, schools, and organisations around the world.  Looking to the Future  As we celebrate 25 years of Rooster, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who has been part of this journey.  Our dedicated hard-working staff have been pivotal in Rooster’s development, but nothing compares to our loyal customer base who have backed us from the beginning.    The future looks bright for Rooster so if you are new to Rooster, we will continue innovating, expanding our product range and supporting the next generation of sailors.      Here's to the next 25 years of Rooster Sailing—may our ‘sales’ remain full 😊 , and our course true.   

We're proud to share the launch of our newest innovation, the SB1 Inshore Jacket and Hi-fits. The range has been engineered specifically for active sportsboat sailors and racers, offering unmatched performance, comfort, and freedom of movement on the water. The SB1 Inshore range represents a natural evolution for us here at Rooster. As we extend our presence into the growing sportsboat market, we're building upon our established reputation for innovative performance gear in the dinghy sector. Developed alongside our dedicated team of Rooster ambassadors and riders, the SB1 Inshore Jacket and Hi-fits combine performance with sleek, sustainable style, reflecting our commitment to both the sport and the environment.   "At Rooster, we're always looking for ways to innovate and evolve to better serve our customers," says Luke Morrison, our CEO. "The SB1 range is a testament to our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of sailors. By combining advanced fabric technology with ergonomic design, we've created gear that allows sailors to push their limits and perform at their best."   So, what makes the SB1 Inshore range stand out? It's all in the fabric technology. Our Jacket and Hi-fits incorporate 85% recycled content throughout their fabrics and trims. They utilise a lightweight 3-layer laminate fabric, featuring a 100% recycled polyester shell with a TPU membrane, along with a polyester microlayer on the inside and a PFC-free DWR treatment on the outer surface. This innovative fabric provides stretch for maximum performance without sacrificing comfort.   But wait, there's more! The streamlined design of our products is available in two colourways, catering to different tastes while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic focused on key features. Some highlights include Cordura® N66 500 denier reinforcements for enhanced durability, fully taped seams for complete waterproofing, and reflective accents for increased visibility and safety. You can find out more about the Jacket and Hi-fits in the SB1 range on the product pages, where we also have videos describing the products in more detail.   We've also taken inclusivity seriously through the range. Our Jacket and Hi-fits have been deliberately developed in a unisex fit and rigorously tested on individuals of different shapes and sizes to ensure maximum comfort and versatility. Take a read of our other blog for a more comprehensive explanation of this.   Our aim with the SB1 range goes beyond just supporting existing customers transitioning into sportsboat racing. We're also excited to introduce new enthusiasts to the Rooster brand and inspire more people to embrace sailing. After all, it's not just about the gear – it's about fostering a passion for the water and its elements.   Ready to experience the SB1 Inshore Jacket and Hi-fits for yourself? Head over to the range to get your hands on them today!
