As the nights are starting to lengthen summer plans are being hatched. For anyone who needs any inspiration look at Festina Lente's cruising blog the Flying Lentil from the summer of 2015.

The 2015 Chairman's Report
Looking back over 2015, I cannot avoid characterising the last season as a consolidation year for the Sigma 38 Class. But everyone needs to step back, take stock and consolidate, every once in a while. It seems we are all getting older, starting to question the sanity of flashing round the cans in early spring, and even the decision to concentrate spring sailing into two the weekends of the Warsash Spring Championships is not

Hamble Winter Series Round Up
Day 8, as with Day 6, of the Garmin Hamble Winter Series was cancelled due to strong wind forecasts. Ironically for the races that have gone ahead the wind, without exception, has been very light and have tested crews' tactical knowledge and composure. Nine out of twelve races were completed, besides the two windy Sundays one was lost to absolutely no wind. Persephone came first overall, dominating the Sigma 38 fleet by chalking up six
