Congratulations to the RS200 Regional Champions

by Sally Campbell on 9 Nov 2017 Over 500 RS200 sailors, from N, S, E, W and of course Scotland, took part in the five hugely successful RS200 Regional series in 2017.

These tours are organised by our dedicated volunteer regional reps John Teague, Julian Bradley, Jon Ward, Robin Parsons and Matt Morson, with events held at Rs200 strongholds as well as clubs beginning to establish RS200 fleets.

Regional series are a great first step for club sailors, who are encouraged to come along and experience open racing, as well as meet the fleet and get tips on boat set-up and sailing from more experienced sailors; however as the RS200’s popularity has continued to grow they present a perfect option for gold and silver fleet sailors looking for highly competitive racing in a one-day format, close to home – most top 20 Nationals sailors get their time-on-the-water at our regional events, but they don’t take home all the silverware, prizes are awarded for silver and bronze winners as well as overall winners.
