SAILORS from all parts of Wales and the borders took part in the biggest ever youth regatta at Llangorse Lake.
The annual Welsh Yachting Association/PGL Regatta was so popular that the Optimist class attracted 45 entries alone.
In light airs, local sisters Laura and Annabelle Read (Llangorse) stole the show as they won in four of five races in the Mirror class. As well as full regatta honours, they took home the Blackham Trophy for the best-placed locals.
Patrick Metcalf (Port Dinworic) swept up the honours in the Gold Optimist fleet, closely followed by Andrew Hibbard (Bowmoor) and Nathan Bailey (Barry/Cardiff Bay. Shane Terry (Poole) took four firsts out of five to win the Silver Optimist fleet, closely followed by Hannah Tilley (Llandegfedd). Top of the Training Optimist fleet was Alex Kirk (Neyland).
There were 31 Toppers but numbers did not deter fleet-winner Nick Hamersley (Llandegfedd), closely followed by Graham Oliver (Llanishen).
Other winners were David Hamersley (Llandegfedd) and Ben Redwood (British Steel SC) who won the Fast Handicap fleet in his standard rig Laser, closely followed by Maria Stanley and Rhian Williams from Bowmoor and British Steel SC in a 420.
