RS AERO UK WINTER SERIESResults after 8 events
Three more events since the last update and the UK Winter Series is entering its final stages. We now have 72 RS Aeros in the series after our impressive 47 at Oxford!
It is not all about quantity though, but quality too. Ten RS Aeros headed down the English peninsula to Roadford despite 'Storm 10' in the forecast....and those who braved the Midlands gales at Blithfield on one of the coldest weekends of the winter.
The rig choice option works well for the travelling fleet, safe in the knowledge that they have a better chance of the right rig on the day. This promotes enjoyment, participation (both starting and finishing races) and ultimately safety too.
Next up is the infamous challenge of the Exmoor Beastie at Wimbleball SC on the 19th followed by the series finale, the UK Spring Championships at Island Barn SC on the 25th March.

Fantastic to see so many RS Aeros supporting this popular UK mixed class winter series this season. 45 RS Aeros have so far entered an event and the RS Aero 7s with 33 entries are incredibly the third largest class after the Laser and RS200 fleets.
Once the RS Aero UK Winter Series got underway we saw great turnouts peaking so far with 19 RS Aeros at the Bloody Mary. The Tiger Trophy is now in two weeks time on 4/5 Feb and although the same weekend as the Starcross Steamer offers a great central location nationally.
Most incredibly, 4 weeks in advance, we already have 22 RS Aeros now signed up for The Oxford Blue on 18 Feb. This incorporates our RS Aero UK Winter Champs and we have Winter Training on that Sunday at Oxford following Saturday's racing too, with Hannah Snellgrove and Paul Robson. Our previous Oxford Blue entries of 25 and 27 from the past two years look set to be beaten and Oxford invariably reach their 140 boat limit - so be sure to enter well in advance to not miss out!
