LLANDUDNO Sailing Club welcome a host of competitors for the annual Boucher Trophy last weekend.

The straight race from the Llandudno slip way to Rhos on Sea harbour mouth and back took place in ever-changing conditions for the sailors involved, which made for some tactical racing to ensure that the right decisions were made to maximise progression throughout.

At the half way point the Scorpion sailors were setting the pace, closely followed by Rob Davies in his Laser. Kevin Parvin (Supernova) nearly sneaked through into third, but a sudden detour was needed to ensure that he passed the Rhos wreck buoy to port. The fleet safely completed the outward leg in good time.

Carl Jones and Shellie Jones built an unassailable lead during the second leg of the race, with the only challenge coming from Rich Jones in the second Scorpion - a straightforward family one-two result, some 50 minutes ahead of the next boat to cross the line.

Eddie Farrell (Laser) succeeded in pipping Kevin Parvin (Supernova) to third place to mark his first trophy appearance with a podium finish.
