After five hotly contested events at Weir Wood, Queen Mary, Shoreham, Island Barn and Frensham Pond, David Jessop and Sophie Mears are worthy winners of the Sacred SEAS RS200 Tour 2021, on equal points with Chris and Nicki Webber in second place.
With 55 boats taking part, representing 19 different clubs and 12 pairs scoring a top three in at least one event, the class remains as strong as ever in the South East of England.
Many thanks to Sacred Spirits for their generous sponsorship of the tour and to David Jessop for the organisation and results.
Dates for 2022 are already being planned, the series will comprise six events in total.
All RS200 sailors are welcome, whether new to the boat or a National Tour sailor.
