A new name on the podium as Harry Bennell planed around the lake to take the top spot - and todays web image! Placing him 4th overall and definitely one to watch… Harry got the thumbs up and a congratulations from sailing secretary Simon Dolman who also was keen to thank the race team, both ashore and on the water. The course set was a great reaching course, well done team and al the racers out there enjoying the strong winds.
