WORLDS PRACTICE RACE
First attempt was abandoned on the first lap as the wind died.
Marc Jacobi USA and Madhaven Thurmali where leading the 9s. Vladimir Ivanovski RUS and Sarah Cockerill GBR 'Rooster' were leading the 7s.
New breeze quickly arrived from the west with vengeance! Unfortunately the 9s had sailed home but a group of 7 and 5s had a race in about 18 knots and an increasing sea state.
The 5s stopped early after 1 lap, saving themselves for the main event whilst the 7s completed a triangle-sausage enjoying blast reaching and an exciting run.

A welcoming Opening Ceremony followed with buffet, speeches, 16 flag ceremony and prizes.

RON ABUELO RUM COCKTAIL PARTY - Friday 28th
SAILORS LOVE RUM!
Which is why the RS Aero Class is extremely excited to partner with Ron Abuelo at the Rooster RS Aero World Champs in Carnac.
Ron Abuelo are a premium rum brand of Panama and their operation in France are ramping up on an impressive scale to join us on the Friday, our final day, to produce a Rum Cocktail Party straight after the Grand Awards Ceremony.
Many thanks to our Panama RS Aero competitor, Guillermo Gasperi, for the introduction!
SUMMARY of RON ABUELO:
These remarkable rums are created at the hands of the expert distillers at the Hacienda San Isidro, a family-owned company, which dates back to 1908, when Don Jose Varela established in the town of Pese the first sugar mill in the recently-formed Republic of Panama. With their dedication to quality and taste, an historic spirit becomes the choice for those who can only be satisfied with the very best life has to offer.
Strict quality control is maintained at the distillery by sophisticated laboratory equipment, while trained tasting panelists continuously supervise the aroma and taste profile to ensure consistency among each of the Ron Abuelo marques: Anejo, 7 Anos, 12 Anos, XV Napoleon, XV Tawny, XV Oloroso and Centuria. Each of the members of the Ron Abuelo family offers a different experience, a unique personality and character. All express the family’s passion to produce the very best aged rum.

Many thanks to new entry from Holland, Gerard Vos, who had the nice idea to add the categories to the Entry List which adds interest. Our genius Webmaster managed to add it in easily.
Just 6 Youth (U19yrs) so far, but we are clashing with the Fevas. At next year's Worlds in Weymouth we may achieve more Youth by Feva sailors joining us and by sharing date and venue with the Teras we may have Tera sailor siblings join us, like in 2015.
Paypal payments via this link (please add 3% to cover their fees).
Bank details for transfers were on your entry confirmation email, otherwise ask Me.

UK TRANSPORT
Is anyone interested in sharing the cost of taking a large trailer out from the UK with multiple boats?
I'm heading out either Fri/Sat before and returning on the Sunday after. Departing/Returning from Reading.
Depending on interest cost would be about £100, although if people were happy to stack boats then this could be reduced.
There would also be space in the van for some kit.
NB this is not a commercial operation and is just a cost share, each person would need to ensure that their boat is adequately insured.
