Dr Bill Brooks added to his trophy collection as he won the Leonardo category for the third year running.
Kingfisher class winner was Paul Kearney, who took off dressed as an octopus.
The people's choice award went to Dean Towers and Brian Russell, who dressed in bright pink body stockings and danced to the theme tune to the 1970s sitcom Butterflies before flying their red admiral craft.
