With the best weather so far in the series arriving on Sunday 22 April, the Helly Hansen Warsash Spring Series also saw some of the best racing on the water. The White Group had a light shifty SW breeze of 5 to 6 knots which eventually settled into 13 knots. The U flag was used for the three J/70 starts which all got away cleanly with most competitors within half a boat length of the start. The number of J/70 entries was boosted by those boats in the Crewsaver Warsash Spring Championship which runs over the two weekends 21/22 and 28/29 April, and the quality of racing was excellent. The J/70 fleet leader in the series is DSP (Douglas Struth), with Jeepster (Graham Clapp) in second position and Peggy (Jon Powell) in third.
