Megan Bryant-Lawson was a double victor – she was named ladies’ boat champion and junior winner.

Entry is £10 for seniors and £5 for juniors. You can book in on the day up to an hour before the start at the boat pound, Admiralty Gardens, Felpham or at the RNLI station in River Road, Littlehampton.
