Six helms and crews competed for the Roswell National Twelve Open Meeting Trophy at Ely Sailing Club on Saturday.

In the first of three races, local helm Jack Knight crewed by Mollie Lee lead the fleet from start to finish.

Paul Turner from Trent Sailing Club crewed by Ely’s Ted Pepper came second and George Finch crewed by Lucy Horner from Royal Harwich Yacht Club came third.

After lunch, Gerald Copsey crewed by the Commodore Alayne Seymour lead the fleet. Jack Knight came second with George Finch again third.

The final result depended on the last race. Copsey again lead the fleet but on the second lap Knight managed to take the lead for a short while. Copsey eventually won the race - 50 yards ahead of Knight - and Finch again came third. Copsey retained the trophy for the second year.
