FASTEST GROWING One Design class in sailing history?
The J70s are enjoying some fantastic racing in Sardinia for their bumper turnout Worlds now the Mistral has dropped. However when Scuttlebutt Europe's daily news dropped into my inbox on Tuesday I could not help but respond.
Thanks to Scuttlebutt Europe for their inclusion today;

RE: 'Since the J/70 was introduced in 2013, over 1400 boats have been sold worldwide, making it fastest growing One Design class in sailing history.'
From Peter Barton, RS Aero Class Association Manager;
The RS Aero was introduced three years ago, in the summer of 2014, and has now sold over 1420 boats to date in approximately 45 countries.
With 96 RS Aeros from 16 nations at our first World Champs in Carnac, France this summer we will be looking to break the 150 entries mark when the 2nd World Championship comes to the UK next summer.
Just sayin' ;-)
