Hamble Winter Series Report- Week 3<\/h1>\n

(Hamble, So’ton, England)- The 43rd running of the Hamble Winter Series continued for week 3. It proved to be a somewhat drama-filled weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is Hamble Race Control. The race is not live. We have exceeded the wind limit!”<\/p>\n

Well, that’s what the PRO would have said if the CV WetWheels had gone out on Sunday morning for the 3rd week of the Hamble Winter Series. Fortunately, for the PRO’s- Peter Bateson and Ian Bullock- the approach of Storm Ashley had been so well forecasted and anticipated that the decision to cancel Sunday’s racing was taken by around 4 pm on Saturday. Some, including Gavin Howe, had already reported they would not race. Gordon Mclean on Marks 1 mark boat for the one-design fleet was already relishing a dry copy of the Sunday Times!\u00a0Read more here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

San Diego Hot Rum Series Preview<\/h1>\n
(San Diego, CA)- The annual fall bacchanalian festival in San Diego known as the \u201cHot Rum Series\u201d will begin this weekend, hosted by the San Diego Yacht Club. A fleet of 122 boats is participating in the series of three-weekend races that take place on Saturdays. The race is a simple \u201cpursuit style\u201d event, where the slowest boats start first and the fastest boats start last; whoever crosses the finish line first boat-for-boat is declared the winner. \u00a0As has been the case over time, the classic building seabreeze often benefits the bigger faster boats that start late.\u00a0 There are thirty-five J\/Teams (29.0%) in the fleet.\u00a0Read more here.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
