Sailing: Good week for Steve Cowie seals series for Zephyr

THE breeze filled in for the final day of West Highland Yachting Week, giving the fleet a fast run back to Oban from Tobermory.

Neill Sandford's Mat 10.10 Now or Never 3 won IRC Class 0 from Mike Spence's Le Basculer, with Ian Cleaver's Clapped Out Toy Boy third. However, even finishing fourth in this race, Steve Cowie's two firsts and three seconds over the week clinched the Points Series for Zephyr. This pushed Chris Tiso's Thunderbird of Rhu into second place with Jonathan Anderson's Playing FTSE third. Roddy Campbell's Windmark II made it a clean sweep in Class 1 winning the final passage race and the Points Series.
