Clear blue skies greeted the 124 sailors attending the 2017 RS Tera Nationals at the Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy on Saturday 26th August, another year on year growth for this up and coming class of single handed dinghy. With a forecast of very little wind concerns were that there would be no racing today but fortunately a steady breeze filled in and racing got quickly underway.

Once the sailors were on the water this gave the parents an opportunity to hear the presentation from Duncan West, RYA High Performance Manager, who explained how the Tera class had been invited to become a RYA Pathway boat. Nick James RS Tera Association chair said, "This is the perfect time for the growing class, the RS Tera is an amazing boat with massive potential, really friendly and has produced some amazing sailors who have gone on to become highly successful".

Race officer James Gollop from WPNSA did a great job of getting four races in with only two General Recalls, one for each fleet. The first day finished with Ralph Neville from Frensham pond leading the Pro fleet and Ben Tuttle from Hayling Island in the sport.

Attendance in the coached regatta fleet was also up with lots of new faces joining the group who were all coached by the national squad coaches while having great fun on the water. With a forecast of more light shifty winds it's going to be a challenging event for the young sailors.
