(Warsash, United Kingdom)- The Warsash Sailing Club is about to
undertake its annual rite of spring- two events that run from mid-March
to the end of April. The first is the Helly Hansen Spring Series that
starts March 17th and runs every Sunday until April 28th. During the
mid-series break, the Warsash SC hosts the Spring Championship that runs
over two weekends from April 13-14 to April 27-28. It is a hugely
