Florida State Championships, US Sailing Center, Jensen Beach - Feb 2018

Thanks to Yannick Gloster of Santa Barbara, California, for this edited footage from the RS Aero US Nationals 2016. This event was hosted by CGRA at the Columbia River Gorge, Cascade Locks, Oregon. Over 5 days there was scheduled a 2 day clinic, 1 day of long distance race and Speed Contest (which became a practice race due to a light breeze) and finally a 2 day US National Championship. Bang on cue, the breeze arrived in abundance on the last two days and steadily increased during each day. By Sunday afternoon we had gusts up to 31kn, which was certainly and exciting way to finish the week!

Yannick Gloster's great video of the 2015 North American Champs. 2016 saw blue skies and more wind.

Dion once again having a ball, ripping it up on the Gulf of Mexico off Corpus Christi, Texas. You don't need to go racing to have fun! Great to see the RS Aero standing up to that pounding. Especially when the mast hits the sea bottom and the hull is washed onto it with the force of the surf (1:15).

RS AERO vs SUNFISH on a semi planning run. ''They Told Me Aeros are fast, but did I believe them? Nooo. Until last night, that is. Here I was, happily in second place on and off a plane on the first downwind leg. Then this happened...''
