Sailing: Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club juniors out in strength

Date published: 20 September 2018


The Club's Junior sailors were out in strength on Sunday, 16 September.

They are not put off by the low cloud, some rain and breezy conditions.

Daisy Fisher showed great spirit to finish second in the first race.

The best results, however, were from the GP14s.

Martin Brennan, sailing with Caroline Dennis, took the first and third races to be the winners for the day.

They were challenged by Colin Knott and Richard Long, who won the second race and then came second in the third one.

Richard Marsh widened his experience by helming a Merlin Rocket, with Martin Watts, and finished third in the first race.

The other third places were taken by the Phantom where owner Dave Smith's son Will helmed it successfully in the second race and his brother, Andy, likewise in the final race of the day.
