RS Aero European Youth Team Racing Championship - Cagliari, Italy, 28-30th Oct 2022

28/07/2022 13:03:00
A nice plan was created at the recent Calasetta RS Aero event in July....

Pre-Notice of Event
The Italian RS Aero Class together with the Sardinian RS Aero fleet are putting together an invitation team event with the support of the regional Government to hold the first RS Aero Youth team racing event at Cagliari, Sadinia later this year.

Cagliari Marina will provide a fantastic team racing venue being both sheltered and perfect for spectating. The climate will still be very nice at the end of October and the venue is very easily accessible with Cagliari International airport within a couple of miles. Racing will take place in RS Aero 5s to be as inclusive as possible - team racing is about precise sailing skills and tactics at low speed, rather than going fast with power.

The proposal is for teams of two sailors to represent countries, with the conventional two teams in each race format. Multiple teams representing each nation may be possible. Teams will will compete through a qualification series to progress to finals. Each team is to consist of a male and female youth sailor, under the age of 22 years on the 31st December 2022.

Friday 28th October will be a warm up day with the race days being Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th October.

Early applications for entries can initially be sent to the RS Aero Class Manager
