For Race 2 of the Helly Hansen Warsash Spring Series, the forecast for the Solent was SW 20 knots gusting 30 knots, and when the RC committee boats arrived on station, the wind was varying around 20 knots. During the morning, however, the wind increased to 25 knots with gusts of 30 knots. So, after one successful race, the decision was taken to send the White Group back in. The sea was lumpy, making the foul tide beats a struggle to keep the boats in the groove. The J/70 SOAK RACING (Marshall King and Ian Wilson) leads the J/70s and the combined White Group, with JEEPSTER (J/70 – Graham Clapp) tied for second place. For the series, SOAK is leading with Andrew Barraclough’s JENGA 8 tied for second with Graham Clapp’s JEEPSTER.
