In an effort to encourage youngsters into the class the RS Association has decided to allow any helmsman under the age of 19 to enter one event per year (excluding National Championships) without joining up as a class association member. So, if you’re a young sailor and the RS Circuit is coming to town, you are welcome race in your own boat or a borrowed one. You’ll find the regular sailors are a very friendly bunch, with plenty of advice about boat set-up and handling there for the asking, as well as the opportunity to line up with some of the country’s best sailors.
