Fantastic to see 48 RS Aero entered in total at Chichester Harbour Race Week this year, all getting set for the UK National Championships the following week with 144 set to compete! The Race Week fleet broke down into two Class fleets consisting of 17 RS Aeros 5s and 26 RS Aero 7s.

Congratulations to the winners, Sasha Tydeman (Lymington Town) in the RS Aero 5s and Greg Bartlett (Starcross) in the RS Aero 7s for winning their fleets, both counting straight 1sts!

In a breezy week overall, Sasha was pushed hard in the 5's by the rapidly growing team of local Hayling RS Aero sailors with Paul Hammett (Hayling) taking all the 2nds, with Hilary Baker (Hayling) finishing 3rd overall. In the 7's Ben Rolfe (Burghfield) took 2nd to Greg with Mark Riddington in 3rd.

Thanks to Neil Shawcross and Peter Hickson for their excellent photos. Check out their full album here.
