The wind came after a short delay ashore and the fleet launched to get all four scheduled races in with a nice lunch stop too.
Well done to Gareth Williams (Leigh & Lowton SC) on winning the event - all down to the last race from Andrew Molyneux (Huddersfield SC). Cathy Lunn (Leigh & Lowton SC) was first RS Aero 6 and first Female in 3rd with Nat Pritchard-Jones (Leigh & Lowton SC) as first Junior in 4th.
Great to see 2 RS Aero 6 owners out on the water for the first time competing on their own kit!
Thanks to all who helped from Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club and to our travellers for making their journeys.
