RPS are running some fair dinkum' demo days very soon for anyone to come and have a go!

23/1/08 - Results for NORTH 1HR!
Well, what another great event. 20-25kts.....22 competitors......2 Marks......1hr

Another year of great wind and racing. A great start by the riders with Luke Meyers getting off to a good start and managed to hold on till the end. The next 8 places changed many times and some in dramatic fashion. Broken harness lines, ripped sails...and even some rider cramp.

Many sailors tested their own fitness levels to the limit. It was great to watch from the Balcony of the ESC with a few beers!
