RS opportunity for under nineteens
There are now a huge number of RS regattas all over Britain, and with
several of the boats being perfect for young sailors an increasing number
are keen to sample the action. Competitors at RS regattas have to be RS
Class Association members, as is the norm, so this makes it expensive to
borrow a boat for a weekend, or even compete in your own RS if you don’t
normally race and are not already a member.
The RS Association has decided to allow any helm under the age of 19 to
enter one event per year without joining up - excluding National
Championships. So, if you’re a young sailor and the RS Circuit is coming
to town, you are welcome race in your own boat or a borrowed one. You’ll
find the regular sailors are a very friendly bunch, with plenty of advice
about boat set-up and handling there for the asking, as well as the
opportunity to line up with some of the country’s best sailors . An RS
event will not only be loads of fun, you can learn a lot at the same time.
Of course, RS fully understands that all young sailors will prefer to do
their maths homework and be tucked up in bed with a mug of Horlicks by
8.30pm, rather than come along and hit the Saturday night RS party to the
max with everyone else… but if you want to make an exception on one
occasion…!
