Barring the lack of sunshine, the conditions were much as they had been last week with a NE to ENE breeze mostly 8-15 knots and oscillating to the right and back around 20 degrees or more throughout the day. The White Group start was once again at Hamble winter series buoy with a combined class start for all three races. Patrick Liardet, (COSMIC J/70), who is leading the Combined White Group and the J/70 fleet said at the prize giving, “Despite the wind shifts, the start line remained square and the windward leeward courses worked well. Although it was a really cold day, we had some good racing, particularly against JENGA 8 who kept us on our toes!” JENGA 8 won one out of three races and is lying second overall in the fleet. Steve Venable’s INJUNCTION is sitting in third just two points back. Six points back is Nick Denny’s JALAPENO in fourth, and only two points behind them is Doug Struth’s DSP.
