West Country Boat Repairs RS200 SW Ugly Tour, Bristol Corinthian YC

Bristol Corinthian YC really out-did itself as 16 RS200s arrived on a gloriously sunny morning of Saturday the 3^rd of June. The promising forecast encouraged a couple of entries on the day and it’s safe to say they made the right decision to join the fun.

The overall top spot went to John Teague and Naomi Pound, with Duncan and Lorna Glen in 2^nd followed by Henry Hallam and Ashley Hill in 3^rd. We also had our 1^st silver prize going home with Douglas Calder and Elizabeth Galloway, and 1^st bronze won by Izzy Cramp and Stuart Jones.

Looking forwards, we have our Cornish Nationals coming up at the end of the month (24/25th July) where we hope to have a great turnout for such a wonderful sounding event. Huge selling points include the fabulous venue of Restronguet SC, promised glamorous weather, event sponsorship from Rodda’s (proper cream teas guaranteed), and even a fly-by from the red arrows! What more could you ask for?! Entries are open now here: https://webcollect.org.uk/restronguet/event/rs200-cornish-national-championships-2023

And as you may have seen on Instagram, big events are just around the corner!

In less than 2 weeks time on the Rooster Championship Tour, it's the Southern Championship at Itchenor SC 17/18 This is always a great event with an ever-changing race course and excellent hospitality ashore it's easy to see why we return so regularly! With a BBQ and band planned for the Saturday night this will be a great treat for the fleet.

And for sailors aged 25 and under, the Harken Youth Championships, also at Itchenor 7/8 July! A fun, great-value event, for young RS200 sailors at all levels, from the top of the Nationals fleet, to those new to the boat.
