15 sailors from the three different countries (Estonia, Finland & Russia) competed in the RS Aero Baltic Championship in Tallinn, Estonia. A total of 14 races were held in two days with sailors racing in turn in two flights.

The first day was raced in a volatile 2-7 m/s wind from the south. Day 2 brought a lighter breeze and sailors had to cope with very variable wind conditions. Two final races were completed to decide the overall positions.

The competition was won by an islander, Joosep Laus, taking a narrow victory from Ants Haavel. There were three ladies and the First Lady was Marie Pihlas who also won the Silver fleet.

Team Estonia is next set to travel to compete at the annual RS AeroCup in La Baule, France from 28 Sept-1 Oct.
