Clare Sargent, on behalf of the RS700 and RS800 Class Association commented “The RS700 and RS800 Classes are really excited to be sailing at such a great venue as Castle Cove Sailing Club. The racing is set to be exciting and demanding, and the shore side socials will be equally lively. I’m very pleased to announce that CCSC’s very own experienced yoga teacher Becky Tattersall is offering free post racing yoga to calm the sailors’ aching bodies and frazzled minds”.
