RS Aero UK Youth Team Winter Training - Poole YC, 12/13 Feb
Twelve RS Aero 5s enjoyed a breezy day for 10 coached races and 20 laps in total around the pretty top end of Poole Harbour.
George Cousins set the tempo with learning points coming thick and fast.
Peter Barton assisted as the ‘pace car’ on the course with a keen eye to share ideas how the gains and loses where being made. Unfortunately Sunday turned out too exciting for more fun to be had!
Thanks to Poole YC for being excellent hosts again and to the team’s parents stepping up to assist with the safety cover.
Next training is at
Draycote on 5/6 March. Entries just for the weekend and from adults are welcome too.
We are now midway through the winter programme with focus turning to the summer’s championships. Entry for the
RS Aero Youth Worlds 25-29 July at the RS Games in Weymouth is already open with an early discount until the end of Feb. Get your entries in!
