The Lyme Regis Sailing Regatta welcomed visitors from local clubs to mark the start of the town's Regatta and Carnival Week.

A four race series was completed, followed by the Championship of the Day in mixed handicap classes.

Tim and Sarah Parsons from Lyme Regis Sailing Club (LRSC) sailed consistently to win the series in their Merlin Rocket , closely followed by Graham and Will Cook (LRSC) in their Fireball, with Merlin sailors Dave Lee and Angela Bridges in third place.

The Cruiser class was won by Rob and Sharon Walker (LRSC) in their Parker 25.

Champagne sailing conditions, flat out trapezing for the Fireball saw the Cooks gain first place, followed by James Green , (Beer SC) in his ILCA 7 in second, and Andrew Woodbridge, (LRSC) in a borrowed ILCA 6 came in third.

Allan Tyler and Graham Cook presented the awards, the Business Houses Cup to Tim and Sarah for the Regatta Series, and the coveted Regatta Wheel to Graham and Will for the Championship of the Day.

Ed Stubbs was first Youth, and Niamh Chutter completed all races at her first Regatta.
