The Garmin Hamble Winter Series Day 3 Race Results

The third day of racing of the 2008 Garmin Hamble Winter series saw ideal sailing weather and a light South-Westerly breeze that gave some high speed sailing and tight competition. On Sunday the main Garmin Hamble series saw two races for each of the seven classes of the Black fleet and three boats – Shiva, Festina Lente and Whippa Snappa recorded double wins.

The White fleet completed three scheduled races and Boats.com won two out of three races along with an OCS. The series lead however is still maintained by Joystick. The final races for the SB3 Autumn championships are to take place on the 25-26th October, with the  Garmin Hamble Winter Series continuing on Sunday 26th.
