The inaugural RS 2023 is shaping up to be thrilling; as of writing, we have 20 RS400s, five RS200s and 15 RS Fevas!

The event in Blessington should see the light hot weather that we have enjoyed for the last few weeks pass. A long-range forecast shows thrilling winds on all three days of the event.

For anyone wondering IF there will be racing due to light winds, there will be great weather for sailing all next weekend.

20 RS400s will race at the RS Fest 202320 RS400s will race at the RS Fest 2023

We are delighted to see such strong entries in all classes, especially the growing RS Feva fleet, capitalising from over 30 boats held earlier this year at the Easterns.

Blessington Sailing Club has pulled out all the stops for this to be a great event and is looking forward to hosting all these classes over two courses.

Kenny Rumball and his team will be on hand all weekend with spares for all classes, including tools to keep boats and crews afloat and racing, no matter the conditions.

For those who would like to join the fun, we still have some charter boats available for hire in all three classes, so don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected], who can advise on what is available.
