Go for Gold Regatta - Black Rock YC, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 22/23 Nov

Eight RS Aeros turned out to Black Rock YC, hosts to our 2019 World Championship, for their Go for Gold Regatta on Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, VIC, Australia on 22/23 Nov with racing over six races on corrected time scoring between three RS Aero rig sizes.

Congratulations to visiting helm, Ron Fergusson of Albert Sailing Club in the city, who took the big win with a clean line of 1st place finishes in his RS Aero 7. Christian Herr (Black Rock YC, RS Aero 6) took 2nd with Edward Morgan (Black Rock YC, RS Aero 7) in 3rd. 1st RS Aero 5 was Richie Evans (Black Rock YC) in 4th.

Ron summarises a great weekend's racing;
'Saturday gave three races in glorious sunshine, about 5 knots to start, climbing to 12 gusting 14 knots. A day for subtle sailing settings, playing the shifts, and weaving downwind to make the most of the small waves. Sunday provided variety with more wind than forecast. 15 knots building to 18+, gusting to 21. A much more physically testing day with a couple of capsizes down the fleet, and the Bay still carrying its winter chill. The big Black Rock rolling waves provided exciting downwind rides!'
