The J/70 UK Grand Slam Series is off and running with seven windward-leeward races over two days of tight racing right through the 16-boat J/70 fleet. The Warsash Spring Championship was the venue, expertly hosted by the Warsash Sailing Club. There was close racing right through the J/70s with highly competitive starts, mark rounding and plenty of duels from front to back.
The J/70 UK Fleet is packed with passionate sailors and the spirit and atmosphere is just as important as the electric racing. On the Saturday of the Championships, all teams, friends and family, were invited to a curry and beers night at the Royal Southern Yacht Club. Dedicated amateur sailors rubbed shoulders with Olympic medallist in a fun and friendly environment.
