The Raymarine Warsash Spring Series
The Solent's premier early season racing series gets underway on Sunday 16th
March. The Notice of Race and entry form are available on www.warsashsc.org.uk. Online entries are
welcome and there are great savings to be made before 22nd February 2008.
The Raymarine Warsash Spring Series dates are 16th and 30th March; 6th,
13th, 20th and 27th April. There will also be the Spring Championships, with
multiple races over two weekends. For White Group classes these will be on
19th/20th ad 26th/27th April. The quarter ton class will also be racing.
The "Big Boat" weekends on 5th/6th April and 19th/20th April comprise three
classes: 45 footers , boats with IRC rating over 1.090 and First 40.7s. The
RYA will be using the Raymarine Warsash Spring Series as a trial event for
selecting teams for this year's Rolex Commodore's Cup.
White Group will have two separate start lines and courses this year so that
the SB3s will be separate from the Hunter 707s, J/80s and SBR sportsboats.
Black Group comprises four IRC classes plus J/105s and J/109s racing as one
designs.
After racing there'll be the usual warm welcome at Warsash Sailing Club, for
fast, on-screen results. Our sponsors Raymarine will also be presenting the
weekly class winners with Champagne Mumm.
2008 marks the Silver Jubilee of the event. In spring 1984 the Sailing
Committee of Warsash Sailing Club, under the chairmanship of David Laskey,
introduced a six race open series for the Warsash Salver, run on the six
weekends prior to Easter. From the start it attracted a good entry and was
renamed Warsash Spring Series in 1987. At that time the yacht designs of
choice were Nicholson 303 and Sigma 33. One of the early Chief Race Officers
was David Thomas, whose own Sigma 33 Circe was often a winner.
Online entries can be made via the website

I suppose that means that the car parks will be full all day, also the grass verges, and no money will be spent in the village. A load of selfish yuppies.

I pay my rates in this village so I feel I am entitled to an opinion as to what happens in it. I,m sure you would too.
