The Redwing fleet from Tenby Sailing Club battled patchy, variable winds and 'holes' near Monkstone.
The fleet raced a port course to the Waterwynch mark and then to Eastern and back.
On the upwind leg out near Eastern, there was enough wind at times to get crews out on the wire.
After two laps, the standings were: 244 first, 228 second, 178 third, and 241 fourth.
The sailors finished with post-race discussions, drinks, and tapas at the club.
Tenby also hosted the latest in the series of RYA Welsh Dragon junior racing events last weekend.
Saturday saw 10 junior sailors take part in a race training day led by RYA coach Rhys Bromhall.
The focus was on starting sequences, mark rounding, and hiking in the strong winds throughout the day.
13 sailors took on two races in gusty conditions on Sunday morning, followed by a third race after lunch.
The overall results for the junior handicap were: first Isabelle Nuttall, second Harry Hayden, and third Archie Hayden.
For the training handicap, the results were: first Poppy Burton, second Iestyn Day, and third Nia Jenkins.
The events aim to give junior sailors a 'fun and supportive introduction into dinghy racing whilst also improving sailing techniques and building confidence with other sailors from clubs across the region.'
