Five local boats and seven travellers from across the southeast made for a very competitive fleet at the Shoreham RS200 Sacred SEAS series.
All eyes were on the prizes, with several bottles of premium gin, vermouth, and spiced rosehip cup up for grabs, courtesy of our new sponsor, Sacred Spirits.
Following four close fought races David Jessop and Sophie Mear from Hayling Island SC took a well-deserved win.
Chris and Nicki Webber of Pevensey Bay SC were in second with Tom Goodey and Richard Thomas just squeezing into third.
Michael Warwicker and Lynn Ratcliffe took the trophy for first Shoreham boat, showing the locals how it should be done.
