The Magic Marine RS 500 World Championship will take place this summer 15th - 20th August at Aquavitesse, Bruinisse, in the Netherlands. Registration has just opened and boats have already registered to benefit from a 40% reduction in entry fee before 14th April. Charter boats are also available. For full details about the event and how to entry go to www.rssailing.org/rs500 . This popular two man, single trapeze boat is renowned for its fun but competitive events and Holland this summer looks to be no exception, with lots of social events booked as well as the fabulous racing area on Grevelingen Meer. This is one of the famous lakes created by the damming off of the North Sea. With a flat landscape the winds tend to be relatively uninterrupted and the water remains fairly flat. Ideal skiff sailing territory! www.rssailing.org by Golly Tucker
