SUNDAY'S weather was fine for the third race of the Arden Burgee series at the Defford club.

With a light north-easterly shifting over the river, there was a need to concentrate on catching every puff of wind.

The Comets of Keith Stevens and John Tildesley were beaten to the first mark of the course by the Enterprises of Stuart Stephen crewed by daughter Caroline, and Niall Campbell, crewed by Jane Smee.

Both Enterprises then pulled away from the remainder of the fleet to take second and first places respectively.

In the second race of the afternoon, Stevens sailed away from any opposition in the Comet Series while in the Enterprise trophy. Campbell and Smee took the line honours.
