The Lake Sailing Club celebrated the 75th anniversary of its founding on Saturday and Sunday (18 and 19 September).
Special races were held on Saturday to compete for the Founders' Plate followed by an evening meal in the clubhouse.
Two races were held with the 10 best results going forward to a final race to find the winner. This final race, sailed on a pursuit basis with the slowest boats starting first, takes 45 minutes. Whoever is in the lead at that time is the winner of the Founders' Plate.
With a fickle wind eventually settling in the south west, expertise was needed to work out the best way forward.
Richard and Heather Marsh in a RS400 were always likely to be ahead, with Martin and Rene Watts in a Merlin Rocket in contention.
However, it was the Solo boats that had the advantage on handicap, so Nick Hornsby won the first race with Martin Brennan in second place.
