RS Games - RS100 Runners and Riders
This will be the second RS100 National Championships ever held, and the fleet will enjoy 10 races as part of the RS Games multi-class regatta that is being held this summer at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
The RS100 single-hander shot to fame after its launch at the 2010 London Boat Show, attracting a number of top sailors to the fleet. The 2011 Nationals already has 42 entries signed up.
Form jockey is Neal Freeman (Parkstone Yacht Club) who won the first RS100 Nationals last September and recently took the honours at the Gul Grand Prix event at Highcliffe in June.
But there is competition at every turn in this fleet! Alex Morrison (Leigh and Lowton) has also taken top spots at Gul Grand Prix events this year, whilst current RS100 Inland Champion, Paul Childs (Southampton), is fresh from victory at the RS100 Eurocup in Lake Como, Italy. Huw Powell took second at the first RS100 Nationals will want to go one step further this year.
Another face that has consistently been at the front of the fleet in recent months, taking the overall win at a Gul Grand Prix event earlier this year, is Chris Larr (Northampton). Chris has a depth of talent in the RS single-handers, having been RS Vareo National Champ in the past, and clearly he is now starting to master the RS100 too.
Dark horses could include Steve Birbeck (Royal Torbay Yacht Club) a top Laser sailor and former RS600 National Champion; Lars Holm who is making the trip from Denmark; and Nick Peters, Director of RS Sailing, whose prowess in several RS classes is widely known.
