Panaji, Oct 11 (UNI) Goa's Remy Fernandes made a clean sweep of the concluding windsurfing selection trials, winning all the seven races.

Derryck Menezes came second and another Goan Donald Coelho third while Maj Ashutosh Tripathi of the Army came fourth respectively.

National champion P Thomas of the Army could only manage the fifth place.

The 3-day trials were held at Hawaii Beach at Dona Paula under the Goa Yatching Association.
