(Hamble, So'ton, England)- The J/109s saw a dramatic flip-flop,
roller-coaster ride going on in their standings after the previous
weekend. Now leading are Mike & Sarah Wallis on JAHMALI with a
2-2. Second is David Mcleman's OFFBEAT with a 4-1, third is Paul
Griffiths on the J/109 JAGERBOMB with a 1-5, fourth Owain Franks &
Jean Lockett on JYNNAN TONNYX with a 5-6 and fifth is David & Mary
McGough's JUST SO with a 12-3. Tumbling down the standings was Roger
Phillips on DESIGNSTAR 2 with a 3-14 for sixth at this time.
The J/Sprit class is proving to be quite competitive. Nevertheless,
while the J/92 J'RONIMO (John Taylor and David Greenhalgh) now has two
firsts to count for a good lead, the next four positions are all in a
horse race. Andy Howe's J/92s BLACKJACK is in 2nd with a 3-3, Nick &
Adam Munday's J/92 INDULJENCE is in third with a 5-2 and John Cooper
and Ian Townend’s J/92 JAMMIN is in 4th with a 2-6.
Like their counterparts in the J/109 class, the J/80s saw a significant
jumble in their standings with four counting for the series by now.
Leading the J/80s is Ian Atkins sailing BOATS.COM with a 2-7-2-1.
Second now is Rob Lark's J2X with a 6-3-1-3 scoreline. Early leader
SLIGHTLY STEAMY sailed by Nick and Annie Haigh now lie third with a
1-5-8-7 tally, leading by virtue of a tie-breaker over Jon Powell's
BETTY with a 5-6-4-6. Fifth is Stewart Hawthorn's J'AI DEUX AMOURS.
After two weekends of racing, the Black Group IRC 1 Class only have two
races due to the unusual conditions. Currently, Ivan Trotman's J/122
JOLOU is surviving with a 5-7 to remain in contention in 4th overall.
Just behind are David & Kirsty Apthorp's J/111 J-DREAM with an 8-5
in 4th place. And, fifth is Ken Lowes' J/122 GHOST in 5th overall with
an 8-8. Tough class! For more Warsash Spring Series sailing results.
