Parhelion Spring 2017 Series Complete

Published 11:00 on 17 May 2017

The final two races of the Spring 2017 series were completed (on Sat 22 Apr) in beautiful sunny conditions with a steady 12 kts from the North East.

Race officer Ricky Hodgson set two courses that kept the fleets busy in the triangle between Gilkicker and the Spit Sand Fort, however the highlight (for some!) was the downwind start for the final race.

The racing was followed by a visit to Portsmouth Sailing Club for the beef rolls and prizegiving.

• Winners trophies were awarded to:
• 1. Club Fleet - One More Knot
• 2. IRC Fleet – Tinker T
• 3. NHC – Red Arrow

This has been a particularly successful series. We have been lucky with the weather with only one race lost due to breezy conditions. We have welcomed Parhelion newcomers, Flame, Argo and Red Arrow and we have hosted 19 competitors over the five week series.

We are looking forward to the autumn series – starting Saturday 23 September.
