RS Aero UK River Championship
Upper Thames SC, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire
6th October
Upper Thames SC will host our 3rd UK River Championship. Come and sample the delights of sailing on the River Thames!

There are already lots of RS Aeros based on rivers throughout the UK and river sailing requires some specific skills providing an interesting challenge that can then improve your open water sailing too. There is a good width on the Thames here with plenty of space for a good fleet and the light and nimble RS Aero provides a really rewarding river racing challenge!

Our RS Aero designer, Jo Richards, developed his skills in the testing river sailing environment at Avon. Jo's top tip for river sailing is; "Sail intuitively, as you don't often have time to consider a decision! Embrace and enjoy the challenges."

RS Aero 5’s, 7’s & 9’s are all welcome. Depending on the numbers of each class on the day we will either run class racing or run the races on PY handicaps, maybe in a fun pursuit format.

First Start: 11:00
Format: Four races with a lunch break
Entry Fee: £15
Online Entry: NOW OPEN! Via RS Aero page www.rsaerosailing.org/index.asp?p=event&eid=1461

UTSC is a great venue for spectators, with the Thames Path beside the river for the whole of the course, and good views from the lawn and clubhouse. Bar and professional catering all day. 10 minutes walk to the village with all facilities.
