RS400 Southern Championship at Warsash Sailing Club
Warsash Sailing Club welcomed the RS400 fleet to the Hamble for this year's Southern Championship, and if ever a weekend captured the full range of what RS400 sailing is about — from shore-based camaraderie to testing on-the-water racing — this was it.
Sam Knight and Chris Bownes from Lyme Regis Sailing Club who produced the performance of the weekend. Three race victories allowed them to head for shore a race early to give Bownes' back a well-earned rest. A thoroughly deserved Southern Championship title for the heavy wind specialists.
A huge thank you to Warsash Sailing Club, the race team, and every volunteer who made the weekend happen. Running a 71-boat event across three fleets — 33 RS400s, 30 RS200s, and 8 RS600s — in those conditions is no small undertaking, and the quality of the racing reflected the quality of the organisation. It's a club that knows how to look after a fleet. Thanks also to our Southern and National Tour sponsors, Sailing Chandlery and Rooster.
The RS400 Southern Tour continues — keep an eye on the calendar, entry for the next event at Parkstone YC, 18/19 July will be open soon.
