Chichester Harbour Race Week - Hayling Island SC, UK, 19-23 Aug, 2024
A huge turnout of 59 RS Aeros took part in Chichester Harbour Race Week at Hayling Island SC, the week before the RS Aero World Championships!
Many used the week with just 1 race a day in the harbour as a soft warm up for the Worlds, whilst others enjoyed the chilled regatta format and the ability to enter individual days as a preference to the intensity of the World Championship.
Overall the breeze was up during the week with several breezy races. Thursday's race was cancelled by gales to leave a 4 race series with 1 discard. As ever, Hayling proved a fun place to hang out for the regatta week with HISC's comfortable clubhouse, beach front location and several parties.
Ollie Holden (Hayling) tied up the RS Aero 7 Class with a day to spare with an impressive 1,2,1,2 score, ahead of runner up Tom Kennedy (Emsworth Slipper).
Visiting international Sofiia Naumenko (Ukraine) took a clean sweep in the RS Aero 6s before going on to win the RS Aero 6 Worlds the following week to add to her RS Aero 6 European Championship win. Runner up in the 6s was Richard Bentley (Felpham).
The closest contest was in the biggest RS Aero Class, the RS Aero 5s with 30 boats entered. Sarah Smith (Hayling) took a lead into the final day but it was Debbie Caldwell (Hayling) with a 2nd in the final race on Friday who took the overall win on tie break.
Congratulations to everyone taking part!
