RS400 Events Update
We hope you know it's the Sprints this weekend, Clare has been promoting it heavily, and with good reason - it's a fabulous early season 'blow away the cobwebs' RS multiclass event. Good to see 8 RS400s on the entry list here. Anyone not yet entered can enter on the day.
We also have another 5 events coming up in May, plus entry for the Southern Champs in June has just opened:
Sailing Chandlery Southern Tour, Salcombe Bank Holiday Open, 3-5/5
The marmite venue! Not been? Paul Hilliar says "Anyone you talk to who has done this event in the past raves about how much fun it is" Maybe this is the year to find out what you've been missing! Details here.
Rooster National Tour Northern Champs, Bala, 10/11 May
The RS400s join the Bala Asymmetric Open for the Rooster National Tour Northern Championships, also on the TridentUK Northern Tour. Details here
TridentUK Northern Tour, Filey Regatta, 17/18 May
The top tip for Filey is to arrive on Friday! Be sure to book on-site camping and Saturday night meal with your entry. Details here.
Stewart Brewing Scottish Tour, Largs One Design Regatta, 17/18 May
The first event of the Scottish RS400 season. Details here.
Sailing Chandlery Southern Tour, Parkstone, 31 May
A one-day event in the bay with the RS200s, expect a big fleet and a warm welcome. Details soon.
TridentUK Northern Tour, Carsington, 7/8 June
Another venue where we always get a very warm welcome. Details soon
Rooster National Tour Southern Champs, Warsash, 21/22 June
Online entry is now open. I went for a sneak preview this week, and can see why this is such a popular club, the home fleet alone should give us double figures!
And after that it's Tynemouth, Lymington Dinghy Regatta which is already open for entry (come and support Heather, LTSC Commodore!), Loch Tummel Up and Down and then the Noble Marine Mercedes RS400 Eurocup and UK/Irish Nationals - we can't wait to tell you what the new sponsorship means for the sailors!
