RS Aero UK Winter Champs at The Oxford Blue - Sat 17th Feb

RS Aero UK Winter Championships at The Oxford Blue

Saturday 17th Feb

What a fantastic Winter day's sailing!

Winds were light to medium, plenty of opportunity to stretch the legs and glorious sunshine hinted at the first signs of spring!

41 RS Aero were entered and 38 made the start line.
RS Aeros had our own start with over a third of the overall fleet. This provided both a dedicated RS Aero race and the larger 115 boat mixed class Oxford Blue average lap PY timings.

A record Youth turnout featured highly overall!

Round 6 of the 10 event RS Aero UK Winter Series

Just two weeks now to the RS Aero UK Winter Champs at the Oxford Blue! This one has a nice big RS Aero trophy, kindly donated by Mrs B!

Liam Willis won last year in light winds from a whopping fleet of 47 RS Aeros at the tender age of just 16! He then went on to place 2nd at the RS Aero 9 World Champs in Carnac and won the RS Aero 9 fleet at the Lake Garda RS Aerocup. He has signed up to try to defend his title at Oxford again this year.

The 3 race format provides a good day's racing - the perfect spring board from which to launch your new season!

The 150 mixed class fleet is split into 3 starts of matched boats, so with 19 RS Aeros signed up already we know we can enjoy both good class racing against each other and also the interest and excitement of the overall 150 boat score sheet.

Logistics at Oxford are great for dealing with this number of boats with their large car park and RS Aeros are very easy to wheel up the hill to the slip.

Scoring Explained
- The Oxford Blue is scored overall on average lap time PYs with up to 150 dinghies on the score sheet!
- The RS Aero UK Winter Series will take the scores of the RS Aeros in the order they finish overall in the Oxford Blue
- The RS Aero UK Winter Champs will score the RS Aeros using the positions they finish in each race, to achieve a purer overall RS Aero result.
