A fleet of 12 RS Aero sailors were met with glorious sunshine, hot drinks and warm bacon butties for the annual open meeting at Papercourt Sailing Club. Whilst the lake seemed glassy a first, a gentle northerly breeze of 5-9 knots filled in by the time of launch, welcomed by all.
On the start line there was a relatively even split of RS Aero 7s and 9s, supplemented by one RS Aero 6, all racing together on PY.
Congratulations to Sammy Isaacs-Johnson - overall winner and first RS Aero7, James Rusden - overall second place and first RS Aero 9, and Sam Mettam - overall third. Evelyn Tinker, 9th overall, took first female and first RS Aero 6 (unchallenged on this occasion!) Huge thanks to the expertise of Fraser Hayden and his race team and to Sasha Pearce, Jill Hamment and their galley team for such superb provisions throughout the day!
Next up for the UK RS Aeros Is the RS Aero Eastern Champs at Hunts this Saturday 1st October.
