RS Aero 6 & 9 UK National Championship and International Open - Felpham, West Sussex, 25-27th May
Supported by Rooster

WOW, what a Championship!

Felpham Sailing Club
in West Sussex is probably the best kept secret on the south coast. It enjoys open sea and excellent English Channel rollers to surf downwind on. The sea breeze cranks up and the race area is straight off the beach in front of the club, giving a very quick sail out and great spectating from the clubhouse balcony and promenade. Felpham SC were the perfect welcoming hosts. They provided expert assistance on launch and recovery when the shore break got testing at high tide, assistance loading and unloading to welcome arrivals, cakes after racing, cozy bar, friendly galley with wonderfully bulging bacon butties!

The Championship saw good fleets of 43 RS Aero 6s and 18 RS Aero 9s, 61 RS Aeros in total, and benefited from a good mix of conditions. Day 1 saw light/medium winds and flatish seas followed by two days of the most excellent waves and fresh breezes. This gave everyone an opportunity at the front, great racing and very exciting off wind legs with flat out planing on reaches and precariously weaving down the wave troughs to gain places on the run.....
