The 45th Hamble Winter Series will start on the 4th October 2026 and run until the 29th of
November 2026.
There will be eight weeks of class racing for IRC yachts, which will follow a tried and trusted
formula of two races each Sunday for the first four weeks, followed by one race a day for
the last four weeks, when daylight and air temperatures are both a little lacking.
The mid
series break will be the weekend of 1st November. Earlybird entries for the winter series,
which are terrific value, are available until the 4th of September 2026.
The Hamble IRC Autumn Championship will take place on the weekend of the 10th and
11th of October this year and weather permitting will see an increase to seven races.
Yachts that enter the full winter series will be automatically entered into the IRC
Championship.
The Hamble One Design Championships will once again be on Race Week 1, the 3rd & 4th
of October and Race Week 3, the 17th & 18th of October.
Prize-givings will be held every Sunday at the Hamble River Sailing Club after racing.
