Brotherly rivalry is alive and well at Welwyn Garden City Sailing Club - and it is producing some exciting racing.

Angelo Hansen and brother Francis spent much of a very warm day at Stanborough Lakes battling with each other in the latest round of races.

But it was 12-year-old Francis, out in the family’s newly acquired comet dinghy, who proved to be the star performer on this day as he came first in the personal handicap race, claiming the wee auld mug in the process, thanks to two first places.

His efforts was also good enough to claim third place in the main fleet in race number two.
