Guernsey take team spoils

GUERNSEY and Jersey shared the honours in the Channel Island Windsurfing Championships held at Ladies Bay over the weekend.

There was some apprehension in the days leading up to weekend as the weather forecast was variable, but on Saturday, the main day of the event, the sun shone and the wind, as forecast, picked up to a moderate F4-5 in the afternoon.

It was decided that with lighter winds earlier in the day a couple of rounds of course racing were to be held.

Jersey veterans Mike Miller and Steve Melia dominated in the first race, leading the 15-strong fleet from start to finish, with Miller first, Melia second and Guernsey's Stuart Martel following close behind in third.
