RS Aero UK End of Seasons - Broadwater SC, Middlesex, UK, 30th October

As if by magic the rain clouds parted, the sun came out, and the gusts calmed down for the adventurous RS Aero sailors who made their way to the Broadwater RS Aero 5/7/9 End of Seasons event. Racing was run as a novel open meeting format - running each race as a pursuit race....

ONLINE ENTRY - Is closing tonight for the RS Aero UK End of Seasons at Broadwater SC.
A good fleet is forming and Broadwater run a nice pursuit race format so the three RS Aero rigs enjoy both Class racing with Class starts together with the fun of the chase between rigs too.
Looks like a good breeze for it.

Trophy
The Broadwater RS Aero Open has always upheld the fun rule that no one can win the trophy more than once. Therfore the overall event winner will take the title of 'RS Aero End of Season Champion' but the highest place competitor who has not won the trophy before will take the trophy home! After four previous events that now excludes previous trophy winners; Peter Barton, David Cherrill, Andy Cooney & Peter Joseph, so as time passes the trophy win is becomming more achievable!

Sailing Instructions

are now available via the Event Page. Racing will be held in a Pursuit Race format with the three RS Aero Classes starting seperately. The benefits include having separate Class starts to enjoy Class racing withing the overal mixed fleet the fun of the chase. There will then be less waiting between races, it avoids timing finishes and we get one overall results sheet together with Class splits if necessary.

Directions
The Club is within 10 minutes drive of Junction 1 of the M40 or Junctions 16 and 17 of the M25.
Access to the club is down a track from Moorhall Road, opposite The Bear on the Barge pub. Use that for your SatNav, not Broadwater.
Beware of the speed bumps and potholes down the track. Allow plenty time to drive slowly - about 5 mins.
