The first race of the Raymarine Warsash Spring Series took place on Sunday 16 March under grey skies with persistent rain but this did not deter the 200 boats entered for this Silver Jubilee year of the event.
The early north-westerly breeze shifted during the morning to the north and built during the day from 12 knots to 20/24 with gusts to 30 knots. These were just the kind of challenging conditions to blow the winter cobwebs away for those back racing for the first time this season. There were exhilarating runs and demanding beats but also a number of retirements during the latter part of the day.
