UK RS Southern Championships at Hayling Island SC

The 250 sailors who took part in the RS Southern Championships at Hayling Island Sailing Club this weekend could not have asked for better conditions for an RS regatta event. The expected wall-to-wall sunshine created a rigging scene in the dinghy park more akin to Garda in August, and the sea breeze came in on cue for the competitors briefing. [Mental note - trust instinct and the local experts - not the wind forecast sites!].

The seven classes - RS100, RS200, RS300, RS400, RS500, RS700 and RS800 - were taken out of the harbour and sailed three races in open sea conditions, providing quite a spectacle for the hordes of sunbathers on the beach.

After a Championship dinner the sailors enjoyed a party befitting the 20th anniversary year of the RS family - fabulous music from the Senators playing all the favourite covers to suit all ages from those who have been in the fleet for the full 20 years, to those that weren’t even born when RS was founded! Some enjoyed the balmy Midsummer’s Eve watching the sun go down from the balconies of HISC, while others made it their mission to try each and every one of the many rums on offer!

As another glorious day dawned on Sunday there were rumours of no wind and postponements, but once again the wind came in as if pre-ordered, and the race teams headed by Greg Lamb and Mike Dawe again ran three excellent races.

Many thanks to the teams at Hayling Island Sailing Club for a superb event - we will come back soon!
