The Sprint Champs is a great fun, full-on, fast-paced event, hosted as usual by Rutland SC on 11/12 April.
This event has proved a very popular event in the RS100, RS200, RS300 & RS400 calendar.
The events is a round-robin of short races in small fleets. It's a real adrenalin event! To read all about the race format, course, etc. see the NoR at http://www.rssailing.org/docs/NoR%20Sprint%202015%20Draft%202-1.pdf
The start times are 1200hrs on Saturday, 1030hrs on Sunday, with an extremely important race briefing at 1100hrs.
The entry fee is £38 for the RS100/300s, and £52 for RS200/400s. This includes a simple sailing supper in the clubhouse on Saturday evening. If you would prefer not to have the meal, the entry fee is reduced to £35 for RS100/300s and to £45 for RS200/400s.
The event is pre-entry before 10 April, as the fleets need to be seeded. You can enter online here at the Championship site. Due to the complexity of late entries, there will be a levy of £10 to any boat entering on the day.
As well as the sailing supper and bar on Saturday night, the galley will be open for breakfast, snacks, etc. during the event.
For accommodation details & directions, see the club website at http://www.rutlandsc.co.uk/cms/index.php There are on-site bunk rooms and a camping field next door.
