The Sprint Champs is a great fun, full-on, fast-paced event, hosted as usually by Rutland SC on 12/13 April.
This event has proved a very popular event in the RS200, 300 & 400 calendar, and the RS100s are joining us in 2014.
The events is a round-robin of short races in small fleets. It's a real adrenelin event! To read all about the race format, course, etc. see the NoR at http://www.rssailing.org/docs/NoR%20Sprint%202014_Final.pdf
The start times are 1200hrs on Saturday, 1030hrs on Sunday, with an important race briefing at 1100hrs.
The entry fee is £38 for the RS100/300s, and £48 for RS200/400s. This includes a simple sailing supper in the clubhouse on Saturday evening. If you would prefer not to have the meal, the entry fee is reduced to £34 for RS100/300s and to £40 for RS200/400s.
The event is pre-entry, as the fleets need to be seeded. You can enter online here at the Championship site.
