The Final Day in the Hamble got off to a slow start. After some drifting in a glass-out on the Solent, the breeze filled in from the north west. Three races took place in 5-7 knots, however, it was Girls on Film who decisively secured their win, with Invictus still in second and Rebellion sneaking into third place. Congratulations to Peter Morton, finally securing the Trophy after many attempts and to Stuart Childerley and the race comittee for a successful regatta. Only a bright future ahead for the FAST40+'s.
