Rockshore / Bosun Bobs RS400 Winter Series at Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club - Week 1

 

Now in its 18th year, RS400 winter series continues to grow from strength to strength. The 2024 event welcomes the return of class stalwart Dave Cheyne, sailing with Susan McKnight. Dave was one of the founding members of the RS400 fleet at RNIYC and it is great to see he has returned with the same enthusiasm for the class.

Gareth Flanigan also returns to the fleet, along with new joiners Patrick Hamilton sailing with Sam Kelly and Zac and Callum Dalzell / Max Robinson. This is a really positive sign of the fleet growing ahead of the 2025 Euro Cup and Nationals to be held at RNIYC. 

Thanks as always to the race committee and rescue team who make it all happen.
