It’s
Official – RS Vareo is now firmly on the map in the UK
Racing scene. 2007 at Netley SC on the Solent saw a
record 47 competing boats. RS Vareo Owners Club Rules
Representative (a very busy man these days – more of
this below), Dave Machin – as a Netley SC member worked
very hard with his fellow members to pull off a great
event, and all who competed give a tremendous thank you
to the club. We had weather from light up to gust of F6+
so no-one could say they didn’t find ideal conditions in
there somewhere. Netley also arranged for post-racing
coaching video and critique, so we couldn’t escape big
brother CCTV on the water. All found this extremely
useful and by day 3 there were some noticeably different
tactics afoot. By way of comparison, the nationals
turnouts for other classes: RS300 (31), RS500 (30),
RS400 (59), RS600 (34), RS700 (51), RS800 (50).
An extensive table (thanks to Nigel Best via Yahoo
Newsgroup) for those into stats:
