Hamilton Harbour played host to another thrilling evening of racing as 32 boats took to the start line for Race Day 10 of the Wednesday Night Sailing Series. The fleet embarked on a familiar course, beginning in Hamilton Harbour, venturing into the vast expanse of the Great Sound, and ultimately returning to the harbour for the finish.
It was a night of tactical sailing and calculated corrections, with the line honours not necessarily translating into overall victory. Scatteraction was the first to cross the finish line, recording an impressive elapsed time of 1:12:25. However, after the handicaps were applied, their corrected time of 1:08:32 placed them in a respectable second position for the night. Similarly, Airforce, the second boat to finish with an elapsed time of 1:13:23, saw their corrected time of 1:09:27 land them in sixth place.
The true champions of the night were declared to be Peppercorn. Despite crossing the line with an elapsed time of 1:20:12, their superior corrected time of 1:07:52 secured them a well-deserved first place. Menace rounded out the top three finishers, earning third place with a corrected time of 1:09:07.
The competitive nature of the series was evident in the close timings of the top five. Solna II claimed fourth place with a corrected time of 1:09:08, just narrowly missing out on a podium spot. Celerity completed the top five, securing fifth place with a corrected time of 1:09:18.
With Race Day 10 now concluded, the Wednesday Night Sailing Series continues to deliver exciting and unpredictable racing for the Bermuda sailing community.
