Double win for Graham at Burnham-On-Sea's
annual sailing regatta
Burnham-On-Sea
yachstman Graham Wills and his crew were celebrating this week
after clinching a double victory in the town's annual Sailing
Club Regatta.
 Strong
winds provided challenging conditions for the yachtsmen during
the two-day event.
But
Graham Wills and crewmembers Mike Connor and Ricky Topham onboard
Swiftwind, pictured right, made light work of the weather
to clinch first place on both days.
During
the event, the yachts competed in force four winds which were
gusting to force five - but the sea remained calm.
The
racing was exciting and enjoyable for the competitors and many
spectators who watched from the seafront.
