Datchet SC did a fantastic job of getting three average lap races completed in winds gusting towards 30kts over the weekend.
Nick CRAIG and Toby LEWIS swapped their B14 for an RS400 to win the Sailing Chandlery Datchet Flyer with two race wins, discarding a second place.
Nick and Toby were also the fastest hitting a sustained 13.6 kts.
In second, and first Youth, was Jess POWELL in an ILCA 4, and third Ben FLOWER in an ILCA 7.
Twelve ultra keen entries completed all three races, with Datchet’s Dan GOODMAN in his Waszp surviving the first race to take the scoring entries to 13.
