Jon Willars with Max Wharram as crew sailed to victory at the Miracle Association North East Championship meeting over the weekend of 26/27 July.
Eight local boats were joined by ten visitors for the two day meeting which was blessed with wall-to-wall sunshine. The wind was somewhat disappointing on the Saturday but it more than made up for that on the Sunday.
Richard Wharram with his daughter Hannah were also in the prizes in fifth place with a further 4 Welton boats in the first ten.
WELL DONE WELTON!
