In-form Bell bags another amazing win treble at Welland Yacht Club

Tom Bell secured three wins at Welland Yacht Club on Sunday.

The first race of the day was the second round of the Sunday Points, which saw six boats take to the water.

Bell raced into an early lead ahead of Alan Cox, followed by Mark Holland and the pairing of Neal Tack and Shelly Woolridge.

Bell, in a full rig laser, kept out of handicap reach from Cox in the smaller sailed laser radial and secured overall victory. Cox also sealed second ahead of Holland in third position.

As the wind had picked up slightly for the afternoon, the course was lengthened with Paul Wilson joining for the Afternoon Points Series contestants.

Again, Bell made a clean start and seized the early lead from Andy Agar and Cox.

However, this time the faster lasers worked their way to the front – led by Bell – but the rest of the fleet kept close enough for the handicaps to affect the result.

Once again Bell was victorious, with Emma taking second from Cox in third.

The final race of the day got under way in familiar fashion, with Bell taking the lead from Andy Agar again.

However, the three full rig lasers kept ahead on the water throughout the race with Cox managing to take back second under handicap.

Andy Agar completed the top three.
