The RS Aero Youth and Adult training season 2025/26 started last week, the first one was at Felpham SC on the UK south coast.

ILCA Training Sept 2025

Published on by Klaus HarrisLeave a comment

I joined an ILCA (Laser) training session last month in Poole. I’m an RS Aero sailor, but my daughter sails an ILCA and I fancied a go in that. I haven’t sailed an ILCA in years so felt like a real newbie at the beginning, but it started coming together during the day.

It was a great day, and I learned a lot. Thanks for the coaching James Foster. The RS Aero training season starts soon with the first weekend at the end of October. Can’t wait.
