The Exec Committee at Eastbourne Sovereign SC have given their approval to proceed with our championship and the Championship Committee has worked hard to form a plan as to how it may take place safely and within the evolving restrictions.

KEY POINTS

• We will drop the 'European' title. Although the quarantine for international visitors is set to largely be gone by then it still effects a few key European nations. We will be delighted to have international visitors attend, but we felt this summer that an international championship is a little too ambitious.
• Entries limited to 100 RS Aeros, accepted in order of valid paid entry from Class members.
• Racing now 4 days - Fri 28th to Mon 31st (Monday is the UK bank holiday!)
• We are not limited by numbers of RS Aeros whilst afloat. 
• Ashore the overall fleet will be divided for launching, food service, RS Chillaxation Zone seating etc. to adhere to gathering restrictions, stay safely distanced and hygienic
• Club changing rooms will not be available so for that there is your accommodation, the large beach or by your car. Fresh water rinse downs are available by hose. Get your changing robe ordered now - this is set to be an outdoors championship! There will be well managed toilet facilities. 
• Eastbourne Sovereign Sailing Club, the RS Aero Class and RS Sailing are committed to working out and delivering a top plan together, for excellent racing and as comfortable and social a time ashore as possible!
• Expect an outdoors RS Cool Hub, like the RS Games!
• Watch out for Online Entry opening on the RS Aero website and NoR posted during the next day or so - BE READY!
