So for non-circuit events is it a simple matter of "choose your weapon"?

some pretty exciting news from across the pond.... first US Nationals has been scheduled apparently, and to add some spice, it's shared with the International 14s....

The Gorge is quite a brisk breeze location, it might be one to follow the photos and media on in due course.

That is the master of understatement, particularly in July did I see?

I've heard about it more as a windsurf spot, you've been there haven't you?

Lots of times, every year for about twenty years give or take, you do get quiet spells, but generally July is what they refer to as a 'nukin' month. Now they may be down the river down Stephenson way, it can be less than the 3.0 weather it is in Hood River which is the windsurfing Mecca, but whatever it is, the current is also against the wind, I can't say i'd get excited about a hiking fest there.
Seriously at the weight those boats are, in some of the conditions they get it's enough to blow the entire boat clean off the water and away.

Eaten dinner next to it, but never sailed there. Can safely say it was blowing old boots, though! The windsurfers were having fun.

Hi Simon
Just noticed the LTSC results and yet again no mention of any Aero's.
Its alright having twenty boats but none out racing is just dingy park clutter.
Have you all decided to race on a seperate day and not join in with the club racing?
Good video shots.

Gordon,
If you are referring to this; 
don't you think that you might be a little poorly informed? The results only mention the top 3 in a race of about 26 boats and the video misses the medium fleet start.

6 RS Aeros were out at Lymington last night, 1 late for the start.
Another was running late and did not launch, such is the Wednesday evening rush.
One Aero owner was on rib duty and another was out in a double hander.
So we had plenty of RS Aero sailor activity with 9 involved, thanks.

You can see here; 
there were 10 RS Aeros out in the first two races, which is great, especially considering the 2nd was honking.

A couple of weeks ago there wouldn't have been a race if it was not for the RS Aeros;

Other worthy classes deserve mentions too!
How many did you have out this week?
