A VERY FLASH RESULT! - The Mount Gay Rum Y88 1-2-3 Series 3 Handed and overall series results are all official and have been added to the 1 Handed and 2 Handed results on the event page here 

The 3 Handed was run under light and shifty conditions of 5-10 kts from the south with the breeze moving 40 degrees and back again through the day. Peter "Pistol" Stewart and team did a great job moving the floating bits and changing back as required.

The 3 Handed winner on line was James Corbett on Flash Gordon aided and abetted by son Harry and ex Slipstreamer Bondy. Second was Mike Leyland on War Machine with crew Chris Macindoe and Richard "Bicky" Bicknell. Third was Zane Gifford with crew Stephen and Peter.

Winner on handicap was the fast improving "Team Haslip" on Babe.

Congratulations for taking out the Overall Series to James Corbett of Flash Gordon, smashing it on 16 points after 13 races with two drops & also taking out the h'cap (just from Babe)! Second was team Gifford/Broadbent on Raging Hormones on 32 points and third Jacko "hes baaaack" van Deventer on Sailor Moon, very close on 34 points

Big thanks to Leigh, Gavin and James from the Young 88 Association for organising everything and also to Marshy and Pistol from the host Bucklands Beach Yacht Club

Now its game on for the Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand 2 Handed Triple Series
