The first split RS Aero UK 6 & 9 Nationals took place over the Bank Holiday weekend with the two Classes competing at a sun drenched Weymouth enjoying a wonderful variety of conditions.
The RS Aero 6 saw their largest fleet to date with 43 boats showing incredible popularity and growth after just one year in production, a testament to the identified demand for the rig size. The RS Aero 9 fleet of 22 was the largest in recent years, with the abundant power/weight ratio for an exciting ride proving popular with the larger sailors........

YOUTH CATEGORY
The entry numbers are fabulous overall and as expected the youth category was always going to small at this one with the RS Aero 6 & 9 fleets focused more towards adults and many of our young sailors working hard for their exams in the early season.
The Youth category is set at 'under 19 on 31st December 2023' (as is usual at most of our events).
To produce a nice number of young sailors to compete for a category we can additionally award an Apprentice Youth category of 'under 22 on 31st December 2023' (which we use at the Youth Worlds and dedicated UK Youth Champs).
