RS AERO INTERNATIONAL STADIUM RACING - MIXED PAIRS - Wed 8th
(originally posted 25/07)
 
On Wednesday 8th, after our Championship racing, we will have an International Mixed Pairs Stadium Racing Challenge within the marina at WPNSA!

The exciting new format shall be 2 person mixed pair teams of a man & a lady, racing together in two RS Aero 7s, competing in a fleet racing qualification series . This will lead to a grand final of 3 teams (6 RS Aeros) to race for the medal positions and a chance to stand on top of the podium. The points of the male and female competitors in each team will be combined for their score in each race.

Racing will be over tight short course sprints inside the WPNSA marina where spectators can watch the action with commentary - cheering on their team whilst also celebrating Charlie Pearce’s 18th birthday!!!

Entries are limited to 10-12 teams of two people, a male and a female, and are invited from COUNTRIES. If spaces allow, extra teams may be invited (combined nations, UK Youth (U19), Juniors (U16), Masters(55+), Scotland, Wales, Cornwall…).

Teams shall be easy for the spectators to identify with national flags on their mainsails and single digit numbers on the head of their sail - black for men, blue for ladies.

Peter Saxton, the chief PRO for the whole RS Games, shall officiate and the RYA will be giving their support. Be sure to come along and cheer whilst watching the action unfold!

Please apply with proposed teams to Peter Barton, email; [email protected]
