35 Lasers entered the Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club Laser Open Meeting held on 24th June 2017. The fleet comprised 18 Standards, 16 Radials and one 4.7.

Two rounds of a triangle sausage course were sailed scoring the best two out of three races. Winds were west 8 knots increasing to a hiking breeze after lunch. The challenge was to make a clear start and to be in phase with the oscillating wind shifts.

In the Radial fleet congratulations to Freya Cumpsty 1st, Chris Jones from Sutton Bingham 2nd and Helen Martin 3rd. For the Standards, Ed Higson from Bartley 1st, Peter Sherwin 2nd and Julian Cooke 3rd. A special mention to Max Robinson from BCYC for successfully completing all 3 races in his 4.7.
