WITH a brisk easterly breeze of force three to four, last Sunday saw the sailors from Arden Sailing Club (Defford) working hard for their results.

The first race of the day was the 11th race in the Pursuit series and was won by Niall Campbell even with the additional penalty of a mounting personal handicap.

At the conclusion of the fixed period of one hour, the Enterprise of Niall Campbell, crewed by David Stephen, was first home, followed by the Comet of Keith Stevens and the Enterprise of Jeremy and Michelle Griffiths.

The wind had dropped by the time the second race of the afternoon started and this was the 6th race of the Arden Burgee series.

Although the handicapping meant that the order of finishing did not tally with the overall placings, the corrected times showed the same first three places for this race as for the first race of the afternoon. this did not reflect what exciting and closely fought nature of both races.

Thanks to race officer for the day Ray Trace who did a fine job.
