Sailing: Knott and Long take the better line to win at Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club

Date published: 22 August 2018


The main battle in Sunday's racing at Hollingworth Lake was between the GP14s.

Mike Butler and Steve Caladine held the lead for most of the race until the final leg when Colin Knott and Richard Long took a better line to win. Martin Brennan, in a Solo, was third.

The wind gusts became much stronger in the second race, which Brook won, with Knott in runner-up slot and Brennan again third placed.

Only Brook sailed the third race as others wearied.
