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.
The club's women's team, who top their own league, will play their next home game at the same ground on Sunday.
Local schools have been offered free tickets for the next match as part of the club's community programme.
