After a busy winter RS400 sailing in parts of the country, more than 20 bats boats contested the Winter 'Frostie' Series at Royal North of Ireland YC, won by Peter Kennedy/Stevie Kane, as Afloat reported here, before Christmas.
The Viking Marine DMYC Frostbites have been running through November with many RS Aeros present, Rs400s, RS200s & Fevas.
As next week represents Spring time, it won't be long before the Killaloe and Greystones established RS fleets awaken from their winter slumber. Carrickfergus SC has an RS Spring Series from 12th March to 23rd April.
Some new RS boats have been sold, including an RS500.
The confirmed calendar for events is below.
