RS TERA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2018 WPNSA UK 4th-10th August



RS TERA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP at the RS ANNIVERSARY GAMES
Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy, UK
4 - 10th August 2018
Sponsored by Rooster
ENTRY CLOSES SATURDAY JUNE 30TH
This year's RS Tera World Championship will be part of the massive RS Sailing Anniversary Games at the Olympic Venue of Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy in the UK. We look forward to building on the 104 RS Tera sailors who joined us for the fantastic racing that we all enjoyed at Carnac last year!
The last RS Games in 2011, also at Weymouth, was a build up to the 2012 Olympics and saw bumper entries across the RS fleets with a wonderful mass regatta atmosphere.
In 2018, the WPNSA site will be completely blinged for the Regatta, with a vibrant Sailor's Village and lots of entertainment for sailors & parents.
We join the RS Games party from Saturday 4 to Friday 10 August. Registration & measurement will run on the Saturday and Sunday, with racing beginning on Monday August 6th.
As we share the week with the RS Aero Class, hosting their World Championship on a separate race area, parents and older siblings of the RS Tera sailors can compete in the RS Aero Worlds, rather than being left behind on the beach!
And new for this year we're offering a regatta fleet which the on site sailing charity, the Andrew Simpson Watersports Centre, will run for us. This is for the younger sailors still not ready for big fleet sailing, but who want to get a taste of racing and join in the fun. There's something for everyone!
The RS Feva Europeans start racing the day after the RS Tera Worlds finish, making it possible for our sailors to compete in both.
A great week is planned both on and off the water. Here's how it's looking so far;
