Overall report - scroll down for spoecific RS800 report
Champagne Sailing all the way!
The 250 sailors who took part in the RS Southern Championships at Hayling Island this weekend could not have asked for better conditions for an RS regatta event. The expected wall-to-wall sunshine created a rigging scene in the dinghy park more akin to Garda in August, and the sea breeze came in on cue for the competitors briefing. [Mental note - trust instinct and the local experts - not the wind forecast sites!].
The 7 classes - RS100, RS200, RS300, RS400, RS500, RS700 and RS800 - were taken out of the harbour and sailed 3 races in open sea conditions, providing quite a spectacle for the hordes of sunbathers on the beach.
After a Championship dinner the sailors enjoyed a party befitting the 20th anniversary year of the RS family - fabulous music from the Senators playing all the favourite covers to suit all ages from those who have been in the fleet for the full 20 years, to those that weren’t even born when RS was founded! Some enjoyed the balmy Midsummer’s Eve watching the sun go down from the balconies of HISC, while others made it their mission to try each and every one of the many rums on offer!
As another glorious day dawned on Sunday there were rumours of no wind and postponements, but once again the wind came in as if pre-ordered, and the race teams headed by Greg Lamb and Mike Dawe again ran 3 excellent races.
Many thanks to the teams at Hayling Island Sailing Club for a superb event - we will come back soon!

UK RS Southern Championships - RS800’s report by Hugh Shone
The southern champs were held over a scorcher of a weekend at HISC. 24 boats made the trip and were spoiled by two days of close racing and a good old flail on the dance floor. In terms of wind, both days saw a gradual increase throughout the day – from kick bar to tiptoe.
Race 1 saw a real battle develop at the front between James and Toby in RWO, Hugh & Hannah, Tracy & Pete and Andy & Allyson. Hugh and Hannah managed to sneak through and led RWO home, closely followed by Andy and Allyson.
Race 2 was all about Phil and John. They were spotted at mark 1 but then did a bit of a disappearing act and quickly became a distant light blue speck on the horizon. Behind, things were much closer with places changing repeatedly. Eventually it finished Phil & John, Andy & Allyson and Hugh & Hannah.
Race 3 saw Dave Hivey and Bart Brigden turn up. They sailed through for the win followed by Andy & Allyson and Hugh & Hannah.
By the time the fleet returned to shore, sailors were faced with the traumatic decision of when to embark upon their Pimms consumption. Whilst most managed to put the boat away, others such as Tim & Sam in SLAM showed exceptional speed to reach the bar in a tidy first place. A long evening of chilling on the balcony, led to a less chilled attack of the dance floor.
Cue Saturday morning. It looked a little hazy both weather wise and in terms of general feelings of wellness. Despite the light start, the wind did start to gradually increase.
Race 4 was a very tricky one which saw Dave and Bart hit the front again – closely followed by Hugh & Hannah. Whilst Dave & Bart managed to sail a clean race to take the gun, H&H were overhauled by Andy & Allyson and RWO to finish in that order.
Race 5 saw Roger & Will finally show the fleet a clean pair of heels to rocket into a comfortable lead. Phil & John held off Dave & Bart for second. Meanwhile, further back H&H managed to pull a few boats through the finish a lap early – despite this they managed to hold on to 4th.
Going into the last race things were tight. Andy & Allyson had it to lose after a devastatingly consistent event. They were closely followed overall by Dave & Bart who looked to have the momentum in their favour, H&H and RWO.
However the first beat of the last race was all about Martin Boatman and Andrew Brown who sent it over Andy & Allyson off the line and rounded mark one in what looked like a comfortable position. Unfortunately a bit of a tangle with the kite put pay to this and RWO managed to sneak through with A&A hot on their heels. Unfortunately for H&H, they managed to join the carnage at the top mark and were unable to challenge in the final duel.
This meant that A&A wrapped up a much deserved victory, showing real pace all over the park. RWO finished on joint points with H&H, but with victory in the final race, took 2nd on count back. 3rd went to H&H followed by Dave & Bart.
All in all, we had a fantastic weekend of racing with five different race winners in six races. Things certainly look to be heating up both on and off the water!
