THE fifth race in the Autumn series was held at Ely Sailing Club on Sunday.
With good wind blowing across the lake, this made for some excellent sailing.
The first handicap race was won by Alex Tory in his Solo, with Simon Leeks second and Gerald Copsey third in a National 12, crewed by his son Nicholas.
The class race for the Enterprise fleet was won by Hugh and Robbie Marshall, after a long tussle with the second-placed boat, helmed by Claire Christian and Marie Brown. Dennis Copsey and Martin Mills took third.
