- Caroline Croft and Rob Henderson won the Merlin Rocket Craftinsure Silver Tiller event at Wembley SC.
Croft and Henderson from Lymington Town SC, won the opening race ahead of Simon Potts and Sam Mottishead, then took second behind Arthur Henderson and Livvy Bell in the next, which proved to be all the racing that was possible as the wind decided to turn off.
The majority of the fleet took the hint and headed back ashore to the agreement of the race committee, and Croft and Henderson (1, 2) were overall winners topping the leaderboard with 3 points.
In second place were Tim Saxton and Mary Henderson (3, 3) from Itchenor SC with 6 points and in third place Simon Potts and Sam Mottishead (2, 5) of Burgfield SC with 7 points.
Fourth place went to Arthur Henderson and Livvy Bell with 9 points, while in fifth place Alexander Warren and Jonty Freeman headed a four boat group on 13 points.
The shortened series with no discard, resulted in Stephen Leney and Gillian Leney, Colin Brockbank and Vana Vlastaki Wembley, and Chris Gould and Rob Allen all tied on 13 points.
Next up the Craftinsure Silver Tiller heads to Blithfield SC on Sunday 27 March.
