PSC Parhelion Series

Having just joined the forum I thought I'd see about drumming up some interest in the Portsmouth Sailing Club's Parhelion Spring and Autumn Series races.  These are run outside Portsmouth Harbour on 5 or 6 consecutive Saturdays from late March to the end of April, and from late September through to end of October, starting around 10:15 with a couple of 1-2 hour races and finishing around 2pm.  They are generally very friendly with the more serious racers doing the IRC class and the rest of us doing Club class, followed by a beer and a chat back at the club, plus they run a NHC calculation in parallel.  You don't need to be a PSC member to race, or enter all of the races.  I've raced with them for years and for the last 5 on Hobo, with a generous handicap meaning that we won a couple of series.  Usually there are 6-10 boats per class in the 27ft-38ft range but I've seen anything from a Foxhound to an 80ft boat with a bunch of kids on it, and even the odd dayboat.  Would be great to see any other Hanse sailors join in the fun.  Details can be found here under racing: http://www.portsmouthsc.co.uk/
