The sailing season at Hollingworth Lake opened with three races on Sunday 6 March. 10 boats took to the water in a shifty easterly wind with some strong gusts at times.
There were three different race winners. Although well ahead in conditions which suited the RS400, Richard and Heather Marsh scored a couple of second places on handicap to be runner up overall. They were beaten in the first race by Chris Massey in his racy single-hander RS300, who then took third place in the second race. In third place in that first race, Lauren Marsh (Topper) chased her parents fantastically well.
The second race was won by young Jasper Bramwell in his Topper, who coped well with the changing wind direction and strength.
The Solos had to wait for the third race to regain their usual strong performance placing. Martin Brennan took that win, followed by Nick Brook and Mike Smith in fourth place, behind Richard Marsh, now crewed by Chris Massey.
