Fourteen Aeros were on the Royal St. George startline today for the first day of the RS Aero Eastern Championships, emphasising the fact this new single-handed dinghy class has truly landed in Ireland.
RO Michael Conway of Wexford, operating in Seapoint Bay gave the fleet three windward-leeward races in 15-20 knots. It was a day for small sails. The 9 s struggled in the strong breeze and the 7 s were a real handful upwind, with the exception of Hammy Barker who made the most of the conditions in his 7 posting 3 wins with excellent upwind speed.

Michael O Connor, Davy Taylor and John O Driscoll lead the 2021 SB20 East Coast Championships by eight points after three races sailed off Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
Dublin Bay presented 12 to 18-knot breezes from the southeast with a mist and fine drizzle.
Testing championship conditions for the 12-boat fleet were completed with a good chop, though the sheltered Seapoint racecourse protected the 20-foot keelboat class from the bigger waves on the Bay.

It will come as no surprise to RS Aero owners that dinghy historian David Dougal Henshaw, picked the RS Aero as the best dinghy to emerge in the last 10 years
writes Irish RS Aero Class Chairman Brendan Foley.
Commenting at the recently run RYA Dinghy Show, Dave said The dinghy of the decade can only be the RS Aero. Look at pictures of the RS Aero sailing in breeze, that lightweight hull, the magic of a Jo Richard s design and you think.WOW! (Simple, identical)...offers competition, speed and thrills. Far more than just a modern Laser - a classic boat and a class act in its own right!
