Harken RS Classes End of Seasons finale at Rutland Sailing Club, 5 and 6 November 2022.
Racing on Saturday got underway for the RS 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800 and Vareo fleets in a pleasant 8-12 knot Southerly with three races eventuall completed.
Following the racing things took a tropical turn for a Hawaiian themed dinner at the club.
The second day dawned foggy and dark – After an hour’s postponement the Race Officer made the call to can the racing for the day, leaving the crews to pack up in the inevitable sunshine that appeared almost at the same time as the abandonment flag.
Rutland put on another another good event and a great evening.
Also, thanks go to the sponsors: Harken for the event and Rooster for the RS300 2022 National Tour.
