Southampton sailing stalwart Stuart Danby showed his boat was aptly named when he won the third Class 1 race of the Royal Southampton Yacht Club's Twilight series last weekend on his Corby 25 Respect.
In a south-easterly breeze of around eight knots and a strong ebb tide, Ross Appleby's Oyster 48 Scarlet Oyster took line honours but Danby won by one-and-a-half minutes on corrected time from Ed Holton's J/110 Shades of Blue II, and Paul Jones sailing Passion third.
Class 2 saw Richard Puddifoot sailing the Sigma 33 Whippa Snappa take line honours and corrected time victory by two minutes 18 seconds from Michael Short's K-Vector with Richard House's Prefix 22 Small third.
In Class 3 - racing under club handicap - line honours was taken by Chris Waddington's Close Encounter who also won on corrected time by 49 seconds from H-Boat Badger (Ben James) with Jonathan Meeson's Trapper Fantastic Mr Fox third.
In the multihull class Peter Ward-Jenkins Corsair F28R Shakatak was first to finish but David McLeman's Dragonfly 920 Zoum came through to win by 23 seconds on corrected time from James Stewart's Dragonfly 800 Kokomo with Shakatak third.
