The final day of the RS Aero World Championships at Hayling Island mirrored the America’s Cup Challenger series in Barcelona . . . the racing thwarted by the unhelpful weather conditions.
2024 RS Aero World Champions:
RS Aero 5 – Georgia Booth GBR
RS Aero 6 – Sofiia Naumenko UKR
RS Aero 7 – Finley Dickinson GBR
RS Aero 9 – Ben Flower CAN
The conditions for the RS Aero 5 and 6 in Bracklesham Bay proved too unstable for any further racing, and the 7’s and 9’s only managed one race each in Hayling Bay.
But sufficient races (12+) were completed for the champions to be worthy winners after a competitive week’s racing.
