RS AERO EUROPEAN RANKING LIST 2022
25th August update
Thanks to our German RS Aero Class predsident, Jorn Domres, for an update on the European Ranking list following the RS Aero Arctic Open in Iceland in August.
A huge 297 RS Aero sailors are already included on the results list this year with 78 of those fitting the number of results qualification criteria. With three large events in the UK already this year (the RS Aero UK Nationals, Youth Worlds and Europeans) the Brits are well represented in large numbers. However, with RS Aero Championships coming up in Sweden, Netherlands, Germany (RS Aero 9) and Italy we can expect more countries to push up the overall rankings and the total numbers to increase further.
Congratulations to Vejas Strelciunas (Lietuvos Buriuotoju Sajunga, Lithuania) in topping the ranking following his 1st in the RS Aero 7 Youth Worlds and 3rd in the RS Aero 7 Europeans. In 2nd is Tom Ahlheid (Frensham Pond SC, UK) and 3rd Tim Hire (Lymington Town SC, UK) following their podium finishes in the large fleets at the summer's major championships.
Top female on the list is Chloe George (Lymington Town SC, UK) in 9th after her RS Aero 5 Europeans win and UK Nationals 2nd place. Abby Hire (Lymington Town SC, UK) is 2nd female in 11th overall with Ellie Craig (Starcross, UK) 3rd female in 16th overall after winning the inaugural RS Aero 6 UK Nationals and finishing runner up at the Arctic Champs in Iceland.
Jorn's intricate scoring method includes the major RS Aero championship in each European nation and is weighted to reward achievement at the main events and in large fleets.

RS Aero European Ranking List 2022
After 3 events
The first release of the 2022 European Ranking list is out, thanks to Jorn Domres of the German RS Aero Class. Jorn has devised a clever formula to include the main RS Aero championship in each European country. This allows all European RS Aero sailors the ability to qualify with just a litlte travellig to support their neighbouring country's RS Aero events.
So far this season the results sheet includes the RS Aero UK National Championships in May, the International RS Aero Regatta & Swiss Open at Lago Maggiore in June and the RS Aero German Open at Warnemunde Woche in July.
Mark Cole of the Netherlands heads the list with early qualification. Jorn Domres is top scorer so far and right behind him are the winners of the early Championships but who have only competed in one champs so far; Ellie Craig, Jonathan Bailey, Jack Lewis, Peter Barton and Christian Brandt.
With many more main championships about to take place we will see lots more qualifiers in the weeks to come.
