The SM was once again a close and tough match, just as it should be at the highlight of the year in the RS Aero and RS Tera classes. A fantastic turnout of 44 registered RS Eros, as well as 23 RS Tera Sport!
A total of six races were sailed. The competition arranged good courses on Ljungskileviken, a short sailing distance from the LjSS clubhouse, which made the sailing easy to watch from land.
Saturday’s 2 races offered very light wind and rain. Sunday’s 4 race challenged the skills of the sailors with shifting winds of 4-6m/s from the north. Both classes sailed on the same course, with RS Tera sailing two laps and RS Aero three laps.
The RS Aero class with all 4 different sail sizes RS Aero 5,6,7,9 represented sailed together with the SRS corrected time calculation which calculates handicap totals based on sailing time. On Saturday it was the advantage of the larger sailed RS Aero 9 in the light breeze, but on Sunday the younger sailors climbed the rankings with their RS Aero 5 sails.
Swedish RS Aero & Tera The class and all sailors thank LjSS who together arranged a good championship and in true RS Aero and Tera spirit. After-sailing on both days with hamburgers and pasta bolognese was also a much-appreciated feature and enhances the pleasant atmosphere on land after the race.
