TheCorinthian Otters, the junior section of the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, continued their success at the Cadet National Championships in Torbay.

Sophie Harrison and Nick Johnson won the B fleet, for helms aged under 15, and their clubmates, James and Amelia Hughes, were third, clinching the bronze medal by winning the final race of the series.

In the A fleet, Otters John Elphinstone and Simon Green won the Middle Thames Cup as overall runners-up.

And in the C fleet, for novices, Otters pair Alex Shanahan and Jamie Munro won the final two races to take the overall top prize.

Stone Sailing Club hope to provide the national title-holder at the Hornet National Championships next week.

Eight crews will be travelling to Tenby, south Wales, for the week-long event, from August 14-20 - and their chances of overall success look good.

John Williams, (known as Strangler) and girlfriend Julia Hoyle, who is from Latchingdon, won the most recent Hornet Open meeting at Netley Sailing Club, Southampton, so are the in form pair.

But Russell Jelley and Caroline Barnett, who were third at Netley, are also in with a realistic chance.

They finished third in the Hornet European Championships last year and Caroline, from Maldon, was crew for Rob Larke in 1995 when he became Hornet world champion.

Two other pairings will also make the Tenby trip full of confidence. Ray and Jan Anderson were fifth at Netley last month and Dean Saxton and Rob Smith sixth.
