Blog » RS Feva Sport Relief Mile Challenge - go on you know you want to!

The RS Fevas are proud to be able to participate in the Sport Relief Mile Challenge. A simple format is being adopted during the annual winter Great Gathering. We will have some 70 Fevas from all squads, RYA squads and Class Squads gather at Hayling Island Sailing Club the Sport Relief Weekend for an intensive weekend racing preparation on 20-21 March.

On the Saturday it is planned to hold a one mile race with a participation fee of £10 (or more if the sailors can raise extra sums) per boat. The winning helm and crew will take the only prize £10 each which will be given to them by Frances Peters (ISAF Youth World Champion 2008) that evening. The balance of the participation money will go straight to Sport Relief.

The twist in the story is that the boats from the RYA National Junior Squad and the Class National Squad will have to start from a separate start line 50 yards back. That should make it more exciting with no predictable ‘winner’!
