Cruising sailors tend to prefer things like swimming from their boat; Racing sailors prefer the water on top of their boat instead; They will spend as much money on sails as their boat is worth; They will sail so close together you could jump to the next boat; They will remove their dodger so they can fully enjoy all that water on top of their boat; They will crawl onto a pitching foredeck to lash down a sail because they don’t have a furler; They will climb onto the boom to install a reef line so they don’t have to slow the boat down; They will fly a spinnaker in 20 knots of wind or more; They won’t even bother taking down their own spinnaker, and will just let God do it; And they will do all of this whether it’s day or night, regardless of whether they can see or not; All for getting their boat’s name engraved on some stupid trophy, and getting some yellow flags to boast about their accomplishments, and for some unforgettable moments with friends - priceless!!!

Join us for a weekend of fantastic racing and unforgettable socials as we celebrate 30 years of RS Sailing. Hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club on the 17th, 18th and 19th of May, this anniversary regatta will be the RS flagship event of the year and a true celebration of Corinthian racing. The 30th Anniversary celebrates 14 of our legendary racing classes; the RS Aero, RS Feva, RS Tera, RS21, RS Elite, RS Vareo, RS100, RS200, RS300, RS400, RS500, RS600, RS700 and RS800. The event will also include the RS500 UK National Championship as well as Round 2 of the RS21 UK & Ireland Cup. In true RS Sailing style, the socials onshore will be just as fun as the racing on the water. We can’t wait to celebrate the last 30 years with you all, welcoming old friends and embracing new ones in the RS Family. Find out more and enter here - www.rssailing.com/rs30th
