Round 6 of the RS21 UK & Ireland Cup

Last weekend saw Round 6 of the RS21 UK & Ireland Cup hosted by Rutland Sailing Club, where sailors were greeted with sunshine and strong winds across both days of racing. Saturday’s racing kicked off with a steady 20 knots across flat water, which made for tight mark rounding's and close competition throughout the fleet. As the day went on, races 3 and 4 brought slightly lighter yet gusty winds, turning the course into a game of snakes and ladders. The day wrapped up with the class’s signature pontoon drinks, followed by their AGM and a three-course dinner at the club. On Sunday, sailors reunited for breakfast before heading back out for another sunny day of super-close racing. With four races sailed in 15-knot conditions, the action was as tight as ever. At one point, six boats were overlapped at a single leeward gate! After an exhilarating day on the water, the weekend concluded with their prize giving. The RS21 Class Association would like to thank Rutland Sailing Club for their fantastic race management, hospitality, and participation with their club boats joining the fleet. The collaboration between the RS21 Class and Rutland Sailing Club was a true success.
