    Warsash Spring Championships Weekend 2

    Another action packed weekend with 6 Sigma 38 crews out on the race course. The championships have seen some outstandingly close racing within the fleet but with no discards and black flagged starts there was disappointment for some seasoned competitors. Once again there were 4 different winners in the 6 races, Pavlova boldly won 3, With Alacrity solidly won 1, Light cunningly another and new comer, Machismo another. Light took a bullet in IRC and
