POOLE father and daughter team Duncan and Kirsten Glen led the RS200 dinghy fleet from start to finish during race one of the Party at Parkstone event.

But the duo then suffered the agony of being disqualified at the finish, having crossed the start line early.

That left visitors Matt Mee and Emma Norris from Hayling Island to claim the finishing gun honours in the opening race of the event, which was part of the 2ndhanddinghies.com SW Ugly tour.

Brothers James and Will Rusden from Highcliffe SC took second place, while home pairing Stephen Tiernan and Elizabeth Norton were third.

Race Two followed a similar pattern with Mee and Norris first and Tiernan and Norton close behind in third.

Those teams were split by Britain’s Parkstone-based Olympians Lucy Macgregor and Annie Lush, who had taken a ‘day off’ from their training in Weymouth to compete on local waters.

The third race demonstrated Mee and Norris’s dominance as they again came home first.

The Rusden brothers, meanwhile, again found form to follow them in with Tony and Zack Freer from Chew Valley Lake SC finishing third.

Tiernan and Norton tightened their grip on the prize for first local boat with a fourth-placed finish.

With the wind easing and the tide beginning to ebb, the race team did well to get the fourth and final race completed.

It was the Glens who finally got their reward with an official first, but Mee and Norris hadn’t given up, despite having already taken the overall tournament prize, and finished with a second.

The Freer pairing, meanwhile, achieved a second consecutive third place.

Mee and Norris had dominated in the inconsistent wind to take the overall prize for the day, but the next three crews were separated by a tiebreak – the Rusdens gaining second and the late run by the Freers securing them an overall third.

Tiernan/Norton missed out in fourth overall but were compensated with the highest local boat prize.
