As she was leaving, two of Tenby Sailing Club’s rigid inflatables helped her to manoeuvre, since it is reported that her two paddle wheels can no longer work in opposite directions.

Sunday’s Round Caldey Race proved too difficult for most competitors to complete.

Very light airs and adverse tidal flow resulted in the retirement of the four cruisers and 16 of the 18 dinghies.

Dan Jackson and Matt Goldwait won the Caldey Island Plate, and the Rolly Squibbs Trophy, with Dave Griffiths and Maurice Clark in second place.

The race was sponsored by Penally Abbey with £125 awarded to the first and second placings.

Sponsors, Coast Watersports also donated a £50 voucher for best overall performance.
