This will be the 4th RS Aero UK River Champs for the Class, returning to the venue of the inaugural event at Avon SC on the River Severn in Gloucestershire.
We had 23 RS Aeros racing that day on the 60m wide Severn and with the wind funnelling straight up the river racing was incredible fun and excellent practice too, whilst a little different from our usual racing.
Please email Antony Lynall via the Event Page to let him know you are coming so the Club can plan resources, lunch and their world famous afternoon tea!

Supported by Rooster SailingAvon SC hosted the first annual RS Aero UK River Champs in 2016 and we look forward to returning again to their pretty location for the 2019 event.
There are many RS Aeros based on rivers throughout the UK and river sailing requires some specific skills providing an interesting challenge that can then improve your open water sailing too. The light and nimble RS Aero provides a really rewarding and enjoyable river racing challenge!
There is a good 60m of width on the River Severn at Avon SC, providing space for a good fleet.
