Congratulations to Steve & Sarah Cockerill, winners of the RS500 Rooster National Tour 2023. Well done to second placed Thomas Leather and Maeve Hall, definitely a pair to watch for the future!

34 sailors from 13 clubs took part, with Gurnard Sailing Club fast becoming a centre of excellence for RS500 sailing. It's not unusual for them to have five RS500s club racing, including several youth sailors.

Huge thanks to Rooster for the ongoing support.

We have an exciting new Rooster National Tour for 2024:
