Mercantile Credit Warsash Sailing Club Spring Series Week 5

by Philip Gage 22 Apr 2001 20:11 BST

Week 5 began pretty much the same as every race of the 2001 Mercantile Credit Warsash Spring Series, with cloudy skies and temperatures which still had crews crying out for their thermals.

But little did anyone know what lay ahead with regards action on the water. In the White group at the latter part of the days’ racing, an incident involving Cork 1720 entrant Sailpower.com occurred after an awkward broach, resulted in a man overboard and three other injured crew who were hit by the boom.

The White Group Race Officials were at the scene immediately and the Coast Guard was called. Officials put their incident plan into action and retrieved the helmsman from the water as well as assessing the condition of the rest of the crew, taking those who needed medical assistance off the yacht and onto the committee boat. The prompt response from both the Coast Guard and Ambulance service enabled those who needed hospital treatment, received it as soon as they got back to dry land.

As for the racing, fresh from his win during the Red Funnel Easter Challenge, Jim McGregors Flair III took first place in IRC class 3 ahead of the X332 Exhibitionist. Kirribilli took the honours in IRC class 1 with Team Tonic in second, and Peanut once again pipped Polly to the post to take the top spot in IRC class 5.

Blue Group Race Officials had an interesting time with the IRC Class 2 fleet, who charged the line twice, forcing those concerned to call two general recalls, thankfully lessons were learnt and a clean getaway was had on their next start. In reflection, the penultimate race of the Series saw numerous incidents take place, some were surprised at just how these situations occurred in such moderate conditions.

But it is so often the way that in rough seas we are prepared and are more cautious, than we might otherwise be on an average day’s sailing – here’s to an exciting fight to the finish next weekend!
