Great RS Southern Championships last weekend 20-21 June at Parkstone YC.
RS100s, RS200s, RS300s, RS400s, RS500s and RS800s made up the 114 RS dinghies competing in six races on two race tracks in Poole Bay.
Thanks to Race Officers Bryan Drake and Richard Whitworth for setting courses that enabled so many different types of dinghies to have such great racing on both days.
Parkstone YC hosted the fleet splendidly with delicious food throughout the weekend. Saturday night we had a great party to Jay Tamkin's fab band Dfunk.
Superb photos from David Harding at Sailing Scenes. All the weekend's photos will be available to purchase at www.sailingscenes.com
The results are thanks to Tom Bufton.
