Embracing the New Normal
Seattle, USA
One of the best kept secrets of the RS Aero Class is the Seattle RS Aero fleet of North America! They have one of the largest and most competent RS Aero fleets in the world, with Olympic Medalists and many Championship winners amongst their ranks.
Great to hear of them getting out for training and informal racing in large numbers over the last few weeks with 23 RS Aeros out last Thursday alongside the Lasers. The clubhouse remains closed but with car park changing and respecting social distancing a fun and constructive session is still manageable.
"It is absolutely invigorating to be out on the water on Thursday nights off Shilshole, and it’s enough to start a little fire of optimism in even the most Covid-weary among us. There have been several signups on the Seattle Fleet Google Groups and the RS Aeros continue to go out for practices. Youngsters, in particular, seem to be energized. KH"
England and Northern Ireland
