March 22 was a day that had the race team on their toes and competitors sailing backwards for the second weekend of the Brooks MacDonald Warsash Spring Series (England). The wind shifted from the forecast ENE, died and came back, and the big spring tides raced through the Solent—all making for some frustrating racing. White Group’s first and only race started with competitors being pushed across the line by 2 knots of tide and ended with them being pushed away from the line as they tried to finish the race. An attempt to get the J/70’s second race started ended with competitors not even being able to reach the start line—at which point the White Group race team declared the bar was open and racing was unfortunately finished. JUST4PLAY (Simon Cavey) narrowly won in the J/70 fleet, beating Boats.com (Ian Atkins) to second place, with COSMIC (Patrick Liardet) in third. As a result, the series continues to see Cavey’s crew atop the leaderboard, sitting on 3 points net from a 1-1-4-1 record. Racing up the ladder after a toss-race (but tied on points for second) was Nigel Evans’ LITTLE LOUISE with a 4-2-1-7 for 7 points. Likewise, classmate David Mitchell’s JUMANJI has a 2-3-2-5 for 7 points. For more Brooks MacDonald Warsash Spring Series sailing information, visithttp://warsashspringseries.org.uk/2015/index.htm.
