RS Aero Autumn Regatta
Langener Waldsee, DSCL, Frankfurt, Germany, 16/17 September
Report by Jorn Domres The German RS Aero fleet met for the second time at Dreieich Segelclub Langen e. V.
Eleven sailors were entered and ten competed in the regatta, all in RS Aero 7s.
On Friday nice sailing conditions provided good common training. The Saturday brought only very weak and irregular wind and the regatta team could only make one start attempt. After 30 minutes, however, this race had to be canceled because of the doldrums.
The Sunday brought only a little better wind. The wind remained constant and 1 race was completed and scored.
Marcus Walther (Dreieich Segelclub Langen e. V.) showed once again his strength, also in light wind and he won at his home club.
Petra Dege (Bocholter Yacht Club e.V.) was on her first race on an Aero. She defended her advantage over Juliane Barthel (Segler-Club Dummer e. V.) well to the finish. Petra was able to take Jorn Domres (Segelverein Harlebucht) to gain second place on the finish line.
Thanks to Thomas Beneker (Weser Yacht Club Bremen e.V.) for looking after the RS Aero charter boat of the German RS Aero Class Association.
Next up for the German RS Aeros is the Bauhaus Cup at Aachen on 30th September. A German team of 6 then joins the
RS Aerocup on Lake Garda from 7-10th October where over 50 RS Aeros are set to compete this year. German RS Aero Class association training precedes the RS Aerocup over four days, 3-6th Oct, at Arco Torbole on the North shore of Garda.
