It was a great first year on the RS200 East and South East Area Tour in 2023, with a full program of 39 races delivered by eight fantastic host clubs. All in all, 103 boats and more than 206 sailors took part with great competition throughout the fleet.

Our 2023 champions Ben and Lorna have already been spotted at working through their winter training block at a few SailJuice winter series. But there will no shortage of competition in the region this season - the 21 RS200s racing at the Bloody Mary show we are all eager to get the new season under way!

We are delighted to announce that Sailing Chandlery will sponsor the tour again in 2024, and there's now not long to wait. Our 2024 curtain raiser at Queen Mary is just two short months away. Here are all the dates you need:

  • 16-17 March: Spring Championships at Queen Mary SC
  • 29-30 March: The Waldringfield Easter Egg
  • 20-21 April: Itchenor training day and open meeting
