Salcombe RS Aero Open
Salcombe YC, Devon
Salcombe YC, Devon
27/28th September
We look forward to visiting Salcombe's magical Devonshire venue and its beautiful yet challenging race course again for another enchanting weekend's racing! In 2025 we share the weekend with the local Yawl class again.
Championship courses on open water are one good test of racing skills. However, sailing on Salcombe's ria valley with the intrigue of tricky tides and swirling breezes under high headlands presents a whole new game of sailor cunning and intuition! The chances are that everyone might get to lead at some point whilst we tide cheat along the shoreline, which all then fuels the bar talk later too! The beautiful backdrop and lovely town makes for a weekend to remember and we look forward to our return!
All RS Aeros will race together on PY corrected time.
This year we share the weekend with the Salcombe Yawls.
