Heather and Morgandie sail to success

Marine engineering students Heather Griffiths and Morgandie Harrold finished second against crews from all over the UK in the annual South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club Race.

The event at Abersoch consisted of 10 rounds over five days, with the crews given different routes to race every day, each taking around an hour to navigate.

Along with crew-mates Peter Dunlop and Vicky Cox, Heather and Morgandie raced the Mojito Bach - a 6.24-metre J70 support boat manufactured from fibreglass, with a fin keel.

They got off to a great start, with two wins on day one followed by second-and third-placed finishes over the next two days.

Over the final two days they placed in the top four in each race, securing overall second spot, before the event ended with a closing party and live music.
