Sailing: Knott and Long star at Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club

Date published: 25 July 2018


Colin Knott and Richard Long, in their GP14, had the best of the results at the Lake on Sunday - they won the first race, took second in the next and third in the final race of the day.

With the water level now well down, the light and variable westerly airstream is not so obvious on the lake and wind shadows have increased.

Richard Marsh, with daughter Jessica, kept their RS200 going with a second in the first race and a win in the following one.

The third race was won by Martin Brennan in a single-handed Lightening, closely followed by Graham Booth in a Solo.

A club spokesperson said: "With championships in full swing, a number of club members will be testing themselves on coastal waters over the next few weeks."
