As the 2009 season draws to a close, Warsash Sailing Club’s 2010 plans for their premier early season event are well underway. Entries are now open for the Warsash Spring Series and Spring Championship. Full details are available here. Beneficial rates apply for early entries received by 19 February 2010.

The Series comprises six Sunday races held in the central Solent, starting on 14 March and running through to 25 April, with a break for the Easter weekend. Black Group classes – IRC, J/109, J/105 - will have one good race a day, whilst White Group – Laser SB3, J/80, SBR Sportsboats - are scheduled for three shorter races.

The Warsash Spring Championship takes place over the weekends of 17-18 and 24-25 April. This event caters for selected Black Group boats, including Big Boats, Class 40s, Farr 45s, J/109s, First 40.7s and 31.7s, who will enjoy up to 12 races. White Group classes, Laser SB3s, J/80s and SBR Sportsboats have up to 14 races. Quarter Tonners join in on 17-18 April and Commodore’s Cup triallists on 24-25 April.

The race committee will be happy to arrange extracted results or separate classes for additional one designs, subject to minimum entry numbers.

After racing, Warsash Sailing Club extends a warm welcome to all competitors at Shore House in the entrance to the Hamble River. Hot food is available in the friendly events bar where you can watch the day’s results unfold and weekly champagne prizes are awarded to class winners present in the clubhouse.
