Laser Grand Prix at Mount's Bay Sailing Club

A healthy turnout of 18 boats were greeted by dolphins at Mount's Bay Sailing Club Laser Grand Prix event on Sunday May 25th.

Matt Howard from Stokes Bay took the honours in the Standard fleet after some close racing throughout the day with Mounts Bay's Denzil May and Beers Jimmie Green.

The honours in the Radial fleet went to Karen Falcon from Netley followed by Paul Williamson from Staunton Harold and Neil Dunkley from Looe in third.

Our very own Eden Backhouse from MBSC was somewhat disappointed no other 4.7 rigs turned up to race but nonetheless enjoyed the great sailing conditions to take the 4.7 honours.
