Lucy clinches second spot in Welland Yacht Club’s pursuit series after strong finish

Welland Yacht Club’s pursuit series reached a conclusion on Sunday with the final two rounds contested.

Andy Prior clinched overall glory the previous week, so it was all about who would complete the top three.

As ever, each boat set off on their allotted start time based on personal handicap, trying to catch the boat ahead of them without being caught themselves.

Round five was won by Lucy Burton, ahead of Brian Cobb in second and the pairing of Phil Robinson and Paul Burton in third.

Cobb then won round six ahead of Lucy Burton, with the Robinson and Paul Burton duo again third.

Those results secured second place overall for Lucy Burton, with Neal Tack completing the top three.
