More than 250 youngsters took to the water for an action-packed weekend of fun at the Eric Twiname Youth and Junior Team Racing Championships.
The much-loved regatta - which pits junior and youth teams from across the country against one other in a series of short races - was near maximum capacity as it returned to its long-term home of Oxford Sailing Club.
A whopping 845 fast-paced races were held under clear blue skies over the course of the weekend as 29 junior teams and 28 youth teams battled it out for sought-after top spot.
The junior title went to Royal Lymington Yacht Club's team Danger Bear, who defeated North Toppers 2-1 in the final. TeraTastic took third.
The youth fleet was won by Rutland Raiders from Rutland Sailing Club after they saw off Royal Hospital Blue 2-0 in their final.
Entries are subsidised by the Eric Twiname Trust, which was set up in Twiname's name following his untimely death in 1980.
