A sailing club has hailed the return of a 24-hour inland race that was cancelled for the first time in its history by the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's so great to get it under way, after the year that everyone's had. It means a lot to us as a club this year, it's brilliant that we can do it," she said."The race officer was asleep in the cruiser as the first two boats passed, so we couldn't see anybody who was ready to blow the whistle and finish the race.
"With 20-30 yards to the finish, I managed to get the right push of wind and overtook him before the line. I'd never been more excited in my life."Hugh Tusting said: "It's strange to not be there, but it's lovely to know that it continues. We're all very proud of it." Ian Richardson, 31, will be competing this year. He and his cousin, Ben, will sail a boat designed and built by their grandad, Mick, over 50 years ago.
