Six J105's were on the start line for the second Sunday of the Garmin Hamble Winter Series. The day was rather overcast and inclined to drizzle, all more than compensated by a solid 15 to 20 knot westerly breeze. Ideal J105 conditions and so it was to prove with some of the best racing of the year. The race committee opted for just one race with long beats and runs, up and down tide between Universal Marina and South Bramble.

Starting with class 3 the leading J105's soon left the rest of class 3 in their wake with Jolene (Ivan Trotman) going really well to lead Fay J (Paul Griffiths), Voador (Simon Curwen) and Jeopardy (Richard Watney) at the first windward mark. By the second windward mark battle had really been joined in earnest with no more than a few boat lengths between Jeopardy, Fay J and Voador. This close boat on boat combat continued for the rest of the race and it was only a mark rounding error at the last mark by Voador that finally broke the string that joined the first three boats together. At the finish Jeopardy came first, 23 seconds ahead of Fay J with Voador a further 33 seconds adrift.
