The final day’s racing at the 25th Garmin Hamble Winter Series was cancelled yesterday owing to high winds.

Although winds were recorded reaching 55 knots at 0630, the mean wind speed dropped to 23 knots by 0730 so the race committee postponed for an hour in hope that the downward trend would continue. However, the trend was reversed, and before 1000 the mean went up to over 30 knots, with gusts to 40 so all racing was cancelled.
