The Norfolk Punt of Colin and Oly Murray won the only race of the day at the Brass Monkey open hosted by the Yorkshire Dales SC.
Thick fog caused racing for the third event of the Selden SailJuice Winter Series to be postponed for over two hours, giving sailors time to enjoy an early lunch and the great YDSC hospitality.
PRO Phil Whitehead set a course taking in much of Grimwith Reservoir over 90 minutes.
After three events in the Series, Tom Gillard’s Solo 5675 holds the overall lead.
Meanwhile, this Sunday’s Grafham Grand Prix is fast approaching, with more than 200 boats set to compete, including the Murrays in their Punt and Craig, who’s back in the Merlin Rocket with Emma Clarke.
Olympic representative and many-time Endeavour winner Ben Saxton will be racing a RS200 with Izzy Hamilton, and another Olympic representative from 1992 will be rolling back the years as Paul Brotherton gets ready to race a 470 with crew Ryan Orr.
