Hamble Winter Series Race Week 5, sponsored by Pharmacy Consulting Ltd Sunday 9 November 2025.
With the series entering its last four weeks, one longer race is the order of the day, allowing boats to return to their berths in daylight.
IRC 1 and 2 were sent on a 13-mile course which had two legs across the Ryde Middle Bank. IRC 3 were despatched on a 10.9-mile course which went to Royal Thames (4F) and then to Ben Wood (4N) on the southern edge of the East Knoll Bank.
Next week sees The Bugle, Hamble, as the day sponsor. With three races to go and another discard in play, things could get very close.
