Les Bithell, crewed by Emma Turner, was on top form again on Sunday, 12 August. His Merlin Rocket always shot off the start line into a clear lead in all three races.
In the first race, Richard Marsh, with Rhiann Bramwell, in a RS200 won after the handicap adjustment.
After that Bithell kept ahead to win the subsequent races, but Marsh was runner-up in the second race.
Chris Massey with Ben crewing, in a Scorpion, was always challenging but a problem with the spinnaker hoist in race two did not help.
Young Jasper Bramwell was out in his Topper and had to compete against his father, Peter, in the third race and just managed to get ahead on the finish line.
Graham Booth (Solo) is leading the Summer Trophy by dint of being out racing regularly.
