Hollingworth Lake saw close racing with 16 Merlin Rockets on the water competing for the annual Felucca Trophy over the weekend of 16 and 17 October.
Visitors came from Berwick in the north, to Poole and Shoreham in the south.
In the relatively light winds, racing was a bit like snakes and ladders. However, Matt Biggs and Beka Jones, from the West Midlands, always seemed to find the way to win in three races out of the five, and in the others they came second.
Other race winners were Richard Whitworth, on a home visit, crewed by young Jasper Bramwell, who finished third overall. This was Jasper’s first experience of a weekend sailing in a ‘senior’ boat at the very competitive level. Arron Holman, crewed by Pippa Kilsby, took the other race win and was runner-up overall.
