RS Aero 9 UK Nationals – at the UK Inland Champs, Draycote WSC, 10/11 Oct

September 24, 2020
RS Aero 9 UK Nationals

By the RS Aero Class Association

RS Aero 9 sailors of the UK unite!

Online Entry is now open for the RS Aero UK Inlands and RS Aero 9 UK Nationals

After a windy forecast deterred the RS Aero 9 fleet at the Eastbourne Nationals, making grown men turn to jelly exercising their flexibility to boost the 7s, the Inlands at Draycote will now include the RS Aero 9 UK Nationals with RS Sailing’s wonderful trophy and the 2020 UK big boy’s title still up for grabs.

Will Liam Lightening strike twice and return to defend his title? Can Chris Larr pull off a win on flat water after not being able to make Eastbourne? Can Greg Bartlett make his training count? Will Tom Ehler make a comeback? Is new class Chairman and past RS Aero 9 European Champion, Richard Watsham, going to pull rank and walk off with the champs? Man mountain of the Midlands Matt Thursfield wants that trophy for Chelmarsh. Maybe the Bowmoor speedsters will show up and steal the show? Will Marc Jacobi fly in specially?

Could the RS Aero 9s be the largest RS Aero fleet at Daycote?
Too many questions and no answers yet…

Show your appreciation of the RS Aero 9 rig by signing up and sticking with your choice, come hell or hurricane, now we are on a nice sheltered, waveless inland water to compete for it on.

There is no dinner at the club this year. Big beers and RS Aero 9 grand cuzza in Dunchurch? I will book a table for 40 (sorry…thats 7 tables of 6 this year!)

Entries are limited to 100, first come first served.

Sign up for the biggest weekend’s dinghy racing of 2020 here.

Also, if you truly love your RS Aero 9 and the enjoyment it has given you then please take a moment to join the Y&Y forum discussion thread here. Help those less fortunate than you by explaining why you have found the RS Aero 9 so much fun.
