The Harbour City Sailing Club crew of the yacht Kittiwake won the annual coastal regatta, finishing the 120-mile course almost forty minutes ahead of their nearest rivals.
Strong winds forced eleven of the thirty starters to retire. The winning crew included two teenagers from the club's youth programme.
Young players from the city academy are being given more chances this season, and several have already made their debut.
Medical staff will assess two players who picked up knocks, but neither injury is thought to be serious.
