The final weekend of the Doyle Sails Hamble One Design Championship didn’t come with a promising forecast, but the race team, headed by Dermot O’Malley, got all races away on Saturday and Sunday in an oscillating NNE wind. There was some close and exciting racing, and competitor feedback has been very positive for the four days of racing, in which 10 short races were sailed with a quick turnaround between races. In the J/70 fleet, it was Tom Forrester-Coles’ HARLEQUIN who took home the trophy, finishing the series with 18 points, six points clear of second-placed JUGADOR, belonging to Jack Davies. The podium was completed by Greg Hall’s RTYC 742 with 32 points. The rest of the top five included Patrick Liardet’s COSMIC in fourth place and David McLeman’s Offbeat in fifth overall. The 2015 Doyle Sails Hamble One Design Championship have concluded after some close racing in tricky conditions.
