RS championship gallery - week 2

A look at the RS800 class during the UK Nationals at Mounts Bay SC

The second part of the GUL RS classes championships at Mounts Bay SC continued with the RS400, 700 and 800s. The week opened with a very light wind Sunday and then went into a Monday that allowed only the RS400 to race. Tuesday had everyone on the shore and Wednesday finally saw all the classes out in great conditions.

Unfortunately Thursday, the final day, was another strong wind day and racing was cancelled.
