Both finished on 11 points after discards but Watterson had 3 first places against Batchelor\u2019s 1 so countback gave it to Tom. Next down the leader board came Ralph Kee (Laser standard), Joe and Eric Whitelegg (Enterprise) and Jimmy Cope (Tera PR) with a win each, showing quite a spread amongst the fleet\u2019s top performers by age, boat type and in the wide variety of conditions we endured.\u00a0  Click here for the full report &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msandcc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Watling-Streetworks-Winter-Series-22-March-2026.pdf\">Watling Streetworks Winter Series &#8211; 22 March 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"tpg-get-posts-post\" ><div class=\"tpg-title-class\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msandcc.org\/?p=4177\" >Watling Streetworks Winter Series &#8211; 1 March 2026<\/a><\/h2><\/div><div  class=\"tpg-byline-class\">By Ralph Kee  on March 23, 2026<\/div><div class=\"tpg-content-class\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msandcc.org\/?p=4177\"><div class=\"tpg-thumbnail-class\"><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Write up by Jerry Colman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back from the RYA Boat Show in Farnborough, your correspondent was looking forward to a pleasant sail around Injebreck to refresh his love of the sport but after launching came a warning that conditions on the lake were a bit much for the seniors with the big rigs. He discreetly retired together with junior Jake Walker (RS Tera) while Dad James (Streaker) and 6 others decided to tough it out despite the gusts and the fairly frequent capsizes that Jake and I observed from the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was mostly time spent righting capsized boats that controlled the results so we now have within the fleet some well-practiced capsize recovery experts as well as more useful experience of taking full advantage of the gusts by maintaining a strong grip on the tiller, leaning out in the appropriate direction and trimming the boat with the bow up to encourage planing.
