The RS400 Trident UK Northern Tour moved to Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club for the second event of the season.
Blue skies and a gentle southerly breeze greeted the competitors on Saturday. But Sunday dawned with very different conditions, requiring winter gear, and crews swung on the backs of their masts as they raked back for the stronger conditions.
But never minding the varied conditions, Ollie Groves and Esther Parkhurst of Beaver SC racked-up six race wins across the seven races to take overall victory.
Second overall were Sam Waller and Martin Penty of Beaver SC, and third Hamish Gledhill and Ross Southwell of West Riding Sailing Club.
At the prize giving, there was a draw for Trident UK Vouchers after which Ollie Groves thanked Yorkshire Dales SC for a great event.
