Simon Horsefield and Katie Burridge, sailing a 2000 dinghy, are winners of the 2019 Great British Challenge.
With blustery conditions for day 1, very close at the front with just one point separating the top three, it went down to the final race.
The final non-discardable Pursuit Race determined the 2019 Great British Sailing Challenge Championship, hosted by Rutland Water SC.
Winner of the final pursuit race were Jasper and Laura Barnham, also sailing a 2000, with Horsefield and Burridge finishing in second place and taking the overall Great British Sailing Challenge title with a five point advantage.
Second place overall went to Penny and Russell Clark in their 505, and overall third place Tim Hire in an RS Aero 7.
