09/05/2026 to 10/05/2026

8 boats turned up for the 2026 season opening hosted by the Hamble River Sailing Club and had 4 fun races in a wide variety of conditions. Saturday was light and very very very shifty with 5-8kts from the North, but the race committee managed to complete the two scheduled races with Lecas and Andaxi taking a win each and Connie (with guest helm Robin Milledge) taking second in both, leaving Lecas the overnight leader on countback from Connie. Sunday was breezier with a steady 12-15kts and gusts of up to 25kts. With the wind from the North-West and the Spring Championships taking place nearby, course options were limited - but Drumbeat were victorious in the first race (avoiding the IRC boats with panache) and Connie took the second (up and down Southampton water to avoid the other fleets). With four different winners in each race, it came down to the number of second places which gave Connie her first event win in current ownership and an early lead in the inshore series.
