Sunday saw perfect conditions for Sully Sailing Club's Annual Regatta, with a force 3-4 breeze and sunshine.
Twenty boats took part in the three races over a figure of eight course, with visitors from Mumbles, Cardiff and Thornbury vying with the local Sully boats.
The winner was Aran Pitter from Sully sailing a Laser dinghy. He said " It was hard work but fun, I don't think I will be able to walk tomorrow, I was hiking out all of the time"
Second was Martin Roots from Cardiff Bay in a Supernova while Carolynn and Nick Smith were third in a Miracle Dinghy. The highest placed Youth (Under 18) was Flo Tovey from Mumbles. Winner of the Slow Handicap section was Nick Speller of Sully in his Topaz Race.
