Father and Son team Stuart and Nick Hydon sailed their Lark to victory at the Draycote Dash on a sunny, light to medium weekend at Draycote Water. A fleet of 80 boats contested the event, with a wide range of classes still in the hunt going into the final double-points, non-discardable pursuit race. Victory in this finale sealed the deal for the Hydons.

Peter Gray and Rachael Rhodes came 2nd overall in their Scorpion, with Steve Bolland’s RS300 in 3rd place.

Provisional overall results for the SailJuice Global Warm-Up place Gray and Rhodes’ as series winners in their Scorpion. Ian Morgan is 2nd in his Laser Standard, and former series leaders Sam Mettam and Richard Anderton are 3rd in their Fireball.

More details to follow later today.
