Three decades of fun later and RS Sailing's passion for our sport has been unwavering. Fourteen of the RS Racing Classes battled it out on the water and in true RS style, partying late into the night over the weekend of 18/19 May.
Hayling Island Sailing Club played host to fierce competition in the iconic waters of Chichester Harbour and Hayling Bay.
Thirty RS Aeros took the opportunity to test the waters alongside the other RS Classes where the sixth RS Aero World Championship will be competed for in just three months time.
Congratulations to all the winners and well done to everyone taking part!
Entries are now up to 135 for the RS Aero World Championships at Hayling from 26-30th August www.rsaerosailing.org/index.asp?p=event&eid=2736 with all 4 RS Aero classes well represented. Beat the late fee by entering by 31st July! A few charter RS Aeros remain available for distant travellers and future owners.
