The pleasant Spring sunshine and a light westerly wind encouraged more sailors to race on Sunday.
Six of the club's junior sailors were out in their colourful Topper dinghies but the results were dominated by the seniors.
Richard Marsh, with daughter Lauren, scored a third place in the first race and went into winning mode thereafter, changing crew for his wife Heather in the last race where he headed the Merlin Rocket of Steve Crook and Sally Townend by two seconds.
Steve Crook had won the first race and then took a couple of second places.
Bruce Mager and Craig Jowett, also Merlin Rocket, scored a third in the first race.
A lone GP14, helmed by Roger Mee, with Steve Caladine, took third place in the middle race.
Daisy Fisher led the Toppers with two fifth places on handicap.
