Sunday's Tyco Healthcare Hamble Winter Series was full of surprises including a Prima 38 - Fat Diva being holed in a collision. And for once racing conditions were excellent rather than stormy, with a consistent 12 - 18 knot WSW breeze.
In the sportsboat fleet, racing closer inshore, there were double victories in two classes with Ian Southworth's Chilli chaser in the 707s and Simon McLean's STBD in the 1720s. On the same course Malcolm Donald's classic folkboat Celia Mary notched up a memorable win in the IRC class 4.
Black fleet provisional winners:
IRM race 1 Nick Haigh - Too Steamy
IRM race 2 Chris Little - Bounder
IRC Zero David Flynn - Kiribilli
Class 1 Jon Perry - Firestorm
