RS500 Appearance at Royal Southern Yacht Club
Ahead of next year’s Europeans, Jack Fenwick, Sailing Manager at Royal Southern Yacht Club invited the RS500 UK Class Association to bring a boat and display it during the much-anticipated Royal Southern Yacht Club’s annual Splash Week.
Running Sunday August 23rd to Friday August 28th, Splash Week is a celebration of youth sailing from the youngest entrants into our sport to those children who’ve got a bit more sea time. The week is designed to give youngsters more confidence on the water.
It’s run by club members of various ages and includes those in their early 20’s who’ve experienced this week as young children themselves and are now looked up to by those youngsters who continue to take their places.
A special thanks goes to Jack Fenwick who invited the class to the event, and to the team at RS Sailing, particularly Guy Rivington and Lily Fox who provided the demo boat.
