    Peter Barton

    Peter Barton is the 2016 RS Aero 9 UK National Champion and an all-rounder i    n dinghy sailing, with extensive experience in skiffs, foilers, trapeze dinghies, hikers, and team racing. Eleven times a UK National Champion in seven different classes, Peter brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to his new favorite boat and Sailing World magazine’s 2015 One-Design Boat of the Year, the exciting RS Aero.

    "Oh, and never wear an orange visor with a red rashie and lime gloves. It all clashes!"
