On 5 January some strong teams gathered at Spinnaker to seek qualification for the finals of the UK Team Racing Nationals which are also to be held at Spinnaker on 5 & 6 April. The wind was very variable in direction and strength throughout the day presenting significant problems in course setting and running races. This meant that only one round robin was able to be run.
