In-form Andy Prior completed a clean sweep of victories to win Welland Yacht Club’s Morning Points Series on Sunday.
After winning rounds one and two, he secured two further victories to make it a perfect four wins from four.
In blustery conditions, Prior (Laser Radial) and Gerri van Haren (Phantom) took the early lead in round three from Neal Tack and crew Rebecca Slator (Graduate), Mark Holland and Alistair Mitchell (both in Laser Radials).
As they tacked their way to the windward mark, van Haren took the lead from Prior, while Holland and Mitchell moved up to third and fourth respectively.
Positions remained on the run back until van Haren retired near the end of the first lap, giving the lead back to Prior.
Holland also capsized, allowing Mitchell to move into third.
That left Prior to take the win after handicap with Mitchell second and Tack/Slator third.
The same five competitors took to the start for the finale – and again it was Prior and van Haren who got away well until the latter lost ground as his sail slipped and had to be reset.
Holland moved into second and Mitchell to third before he suffered the misfortune of his mainsheet coming loose and dropped to last place.
Once again it was Prior who claimed victory overall after handicap, with Holland (who finished third overall) holding second and Tack/Slator (second overall) third.
