Entries are now open for the 41st Hamble Winter Series. The series and its associated events, organised by the Hamble River Sailing Club, will run from Saturday 1st October through to Sunday 29th November 2022.

The main series will take place on eight Sundays with a lay weekend on 30th October, so everyone will be able to enjoy bonfire night this year.

The increasingly popular Hamble IRC Autumn Championship is scheduled for the weekend of the 8th & 9th October. This will also include the final weekend of the IRC Solent Region and SCRA Cruiser Championships 2022.

To add to the fun the recently-formed GP Zero Class will be there too. They are holding the final two weekends of their 2022 circuit on the first two weekends of the HWS.

Race weekends 1 & 3 will hold the Hamble One Design Championship, with starts for J70, SB20 and RS21 classes.

The full programme and online entry can be found at www.hamblewinterseries.com

Reminder: The RORC Rating Office's low season discount starts on 1st September (50% discount on New Applications and Revalidations).
