TEN single-handed boats took part in Trimpley's annual Laser day.

Seven Lasers and three of the newly acquired Toppers sailed in brisk and gusty conditions.

Phil Quarry was in his element as the winds made life difficult for the less experienced single-handed sailors and he won both races.

Alison Young kept in touch with Quarry but finally had to be content with two second places.

In the Topper class, Tom Fletcher beat off the challenge from the more experienced Keith Young and Simon Fletcher.

The third event was a pursuit race with the Toppers being given a lead-off of 10 minutes.

T Fletcher just managed to keep ahead of the more powerful Lasers on his Topper with John Cookson pipping Young on the line as she entertained the crowd with a capsize.

In the winter competitions, GP 14 Noon Series overall winner was T Fletcher, while Jeff Halford and Dawn Bradley took the Main Series.

Eddie Hillman was the victor in the Laser Main Series.
