We are pleased to announce our recent partnership with the RS Elite Class Association where we will proudly be sponsoring the Southern Area Championship and the RS Elite Training Programme.
Soak Insure already provides an insurance scheme for RS Elite Class Association members with a simple philosophy of getting you back on the water as soon as possible following a claim. This partnership allows us to widen our support of the RS Elite Class.
The Soak Insure Southern Area Championship will take place over the Bank Holiday weekend on 17-19 May 2023, hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club with all racing in Hayling Bay. A popular event with close, competitive racing and a great social scene, there will be two races per day, with one of the races counting for the new White Storm Trophy.
The Soak Insure Training Programme will take place at three venues, Royal Burnham Yacht Club 15-16 April 2023, Strangford Lough Yacht Club (Northern Ireland) 22-23 April 2023 and Hayling Island Sailing Club 20-21 May 2023. The Hayling Island event will consist of one day’s training followed by an open sprint event where visitors are invited to join club members in a series of short races to put the training into practice! All three events are available to RS Elite Association members whether or not they are members of the host clubs. Visitors to the Hayling Island event are encouraged to leave their boats at the club to participate in the Southern Area Championship the following weekend.
RS Elite Association Chairman, Jo Hewitson, comments: “I am delighted that Soak Insure has agreed to support the RS Elite Class in this way and that White Storm is spicing up the racing with the White Storm Challenge. It will help expand the growing excitement in the excellent one-design racing this keelboat provides.”
Simon Tonks, our Founder, commented: “The RS Elite class has a unique combination of world-class racing combined with a great social scene ashore. The training programme brings new crews together and gives them the tools to get the most out of their sailing, which we are very pleased to be able to support. I will be racing an Elite in 2023 and look forward to some close racing!”
We’re very excited to see what the Soak Insure Southern Area Championship has to bring and are very proud to be able to be sponsoring this year.
