Sailing at Hollingworth Lake on Sunday 20 August suited the Solo racers best. Martin Brennan won the first and third races, with Mike Smith taking the runner up spots and Nigel Davey having a third and fifth places. Richard and Heather Marsh in a RS400 took the second race win.
Conditions varied during the afternoon with changes in the strength of the westerly wind and clouds sometimes looking threatening. Occasionally gusts added some excitement to the day but there were no capsizes.
Junior sailors in Toppers had very close racing in the third race finishing within 4 seconds, with Jess Marsh finishing ahead of Annabelle Bramwell and Lauren Marsh. Jasper Bramwell raced in his 420, with brother Xavier climbing out on the trapeze when there was enough wind to achieve more speed.
