Congratulations to Steve & Sarah Cockerill, winners of the RS500 Rooster National Tour 2023. Well done to second placed Thomas Leather and Maeve Hall, definitely a pair to watch for the future!

34 sailors from 13 clubs took part, with Gurnard Sailing Club fast becoming a centre of excellence for RS500 sailing. It's not unusual for them to have five RS500s club racing, including several youth sailors.

Huge thanks to Rooster for the ongoing support.

We have an exciting new Rooster National Tour for 2024:

  • 7 events
  • Race & train at Bristol Corinthian - all welcome, especially those new to the boat
  • RS Sprints - blow away the last of the winter cobwebs
  • RS Sailing 30th Anniversary Regatta and RS500 Nationals - THE bog RS event of 2024
  • Lymington Dinghy Regatta
  • Lee on the Solent - home to this year's winners Steve and Sarah Cockerill
  • Gurnard - a new fixture for 2024, and with their fab home fleet it promises to be a fantastic weekend
  • End of Seasons
Save the dates!
