| No Speeding Fines & Great Racing! |

| Exceeding the Hamble River
speed limit is not usually encouraged by the Royal Southern Yacht Club,
but it earned a round of applause from members lining the balcony at the
finish of the latest Gaastra Friday Evening Racing event. |
| The celebration of the minor
misdemeanour followed the winning performance of the J80 Boysterous,
helmed by the Club's sailing secretary Natalie Gray. |
| 'We were doing eight knots at times coming up the
river,' Natalie confirmed. 'It's the fastest I've ever sailed on the
Hamble - not that I'd condone anyone breaking the speed limit of course. 'It was great to be able to finish in front of the club, a perfect end
to a great race,' she added. |

The Royal
Southern Yacht Club's Harken Sunday Morning Racing series has delivered
short, sharp racing to the widest possible range of yachts. |
The final event
on June 16th proved a case in point with a J80 taking the line alongside
a Hunter 707, a First 40.7 and Beneteau F40, all racing under the
National Handicap for Cruisers (NHC) rating system, while the XODs again
had their own start.
With the forecast rain holding off, and a stable 8-10 knot breeze, the
crews enjoyed a race around marks in Southampton Water lasting around an
hour, before heading ashore in time for lunch. |
