A larger than usual fleet took part in a milestone edition of a popular Welwyn Garden City Sailing Club competition.

Past members were among those who clambered into boats for the 50th Anniversary Cup but it was the current club champion, Annette Walter, who took the top honours.

She led the pursuit race from start to finish with the Supernovas on her tail.

Runner-up and winner of the Supernova prize was Alan Campbell with Dave Lambert third.

A former commodore of the club, Nigel Davis, was fourth and the winner of the first visitor prize, while Angelo Hansen was fifth and first junior, with his brother as runner-up.

In the morning the handicap races were fiercely contested with Walter winning the Slow Fleet Cup ahead of Angelo Hansen and current commodore Charles Adams in third.

The Rank Xerox Cup for first in the fast fleet was Campbell with Lambert second and Mike Caddy third.

The regatta had wind and sun which brought out the photographers and it was Patrick Rohart who won the best photo prize.
