In light, shifty, southerly winds, the Mortons’ MG14 finished ahead of Thornton’s Laser to win by just six seconds on corrected time.
Bob Harris’ Sabre scored third place, just 40 seconds further back on corrected time – possibly his best result yet at the club.
The wind increased to 12 knots in race two, which saw the gaps between boats increase.
Rob and Sian won again, with Thornton second and the father-daughter team of James and Gemma Oliver finishing third on their Tasar.
In both races Reif Oliver scored wins as the only junior entrant, similarly Rod Skinner won the multi-hull division as its only entrant.
Series winners will be announced at the club’s presentation on May 7.
