With challenging conditions and force five winds, the first ever Welsh Laser Inland and Open Championships got off to a spectacular start in North Wales last month.
The Corwen-based competition attracted sailors from across the region, competing in six races to take the inaugural cups, sponsored by Tengo Media, Birch House Business Centre and RMF Auto, all based in Ruthin.
Hosted by Llyn Brenig Sailing Club the two day event on October 22 and 23 saw Robyn Cox of Port Dinorwic Sailing Club take the crown of Welsh Laser Inland Champion in a Radial Class Boat.
The first Standard Rig Laser was won by Bala sailor Sam Norfolk, while the First Lady and winner of the 4.7 fleet was Llyn Brenig sailor and home grown talent Chelsea Jackson.
Philip Watson of Llyn Brenig Sailing Club said: “We couldn’t have asked for a better start to this new championship. The sailing was first class and the feedback was even better. It was particularly good to see so many local businesses willing to sponsor this event and help us start what we hope will become a regular fixture on the Laser calendar.”
