The Toppers were out in force at Hollingworth Lake on Sunday with Daisy, Hector, Jacob, Myles and Loucas battling the challenging wind to claim victory against each other, with a few boats capsizing.
Nigel Davey sailed well in his Solo to win races one and two but spent the third one upside down along with Les.
Nick Brook, after a couple of second places, won the third race in a Solo, chasing Stuart Bates and Andy Hilton in a Merlin Rocket.
The wind had died down quite a bit in the third race making it easier for racing. Overall, Daisy Fisher in a Topper was third, with Nick Brook second while Nigel Davey won the day.
Over the weekend, the cub was competing in the annual 24-hour race at Southport on the Marine Lake. With 77 boats racing in this classic relay race, the club finished 29th overall, and second placed masters team.
