Four home skippers were joined by four visitors from Etherow to create a close fought afternoon of sailing. The Top Suit wind was generally down the lake from the WNW, but with some good shifts and a few holes to make things “interesting”. Five people shared the wins during the 10 races, with John Brierley getting the lions share of 4, Alan Watkinson and Peter Baldwin had two each and then Howard Garner and Steve Toulson getting one.
When the scores were totalled up, John Brierley was the clear winner with Alan Watkinson second, just ahead of Peter Baldwin. Visitor Howard Garner finished a very creditable 4th in his Widget bought for just £50.
- John Brierley 84 12 pts
- Alan Watkinson 23 22 pts
- Peter Baldwin 63 23 pts
- Howard Garner 67 27 pts
- Steve Toulson 86 30 pts

- John Berry 12 46 pts
- Ray Woods 51 63 pts
