Warsash Sailing Club (WSC) has announced the dates for the 2015 Brooks Macdonald Warsash Spring Series and the Spring Championship.
Six Sundays are earmarked for the Series, with starts from 10am in the central Solent. These are Sunday 15, 22, 29 March and 12, 19, 26 April 2015 with a week's break over Easter.
Classes offered include four IRC divisions, J/109, J/70, SB20 and J/80. For Black Group there will be one race a day around the cans for the first four Sundays, then two races a day on the last two dates. White Group sportsboats will enjoy three races on laid courses each week.
The Brooks Macdonald Warsash Spring Championship offers racing within a more compressed time scale on Saturday and Sunday 18/19 April and 25/26 April 2015. All classes included in the Spring Series can enter, and in addition there is a mixed Sportsboat class. Extracted results will be given for J/111, Sigma 38, Quarter Ton classes and – for the first time this year – the rapidly growing J/88 class.
Series Chairman, Peter Bateson said: "We are looking forward to welcoming everyone next year for what should be another series of exciting racing out on the Solent. Our 110-strong experienced race management team will be aiming as always to provide first-class, well-run racing afloat and a friendly welcome ashore with good value for money for competitors".
