Look at the no discard results - what a change that makes

1st would be GBR 436 - were 2nd

2nd would be ESP 1 - were 1st

3rd would be FRA 2 - were 5th

4th would be GER 1087 - were 4th

5th would be ARG 1 - were 6th

6th would be FRA 1 - were 3rd

Quite a few changes there, what were the best results?

I think they may have been able to provide video evidence from somewhere. From past experience of international fleets there are ALWAYS tv crews/ coaches/ freelancers around with cameras.........

It's not unheard of for RCs to accept video footage of incidents.

I may be being somewhat thick here - what evidence can you produce to demonstrate that you weren't over the line??

All I can think of is to say "I was next to this guy and you didn't catch him"...

I'm not implying they were over the line, just wondering what the evidence was.

Saturday's Report:

 

Dramatic last day for the top Tornados.

 

Race 9 had nothing less than 19 boats black-flagged, including provisional leaders ESP Fernando Echavarri and Anton Paz, which, at that point, cost them the title. The Spanish team entered the last day of the event with 11 points separating them from runner-up GBR Leigh McMillan and Will Howden. The situation changed dramatically with his black-flag plus the second place the British got in the race – McMillan and Howden were now 23 points ahead.

ESP Toni Rivas and Fabian Escude were the winners of the race and GBR Hugh Styles and Graham Vials, third.

 

The conditions again were similar to yesterday: sea-breeze 8 to 9 knots. But the wind dropped and Race 10 started under shifty and light winds and had to be cancelled once the breeze died completely.

 

ESP Echavarri and Paz put in a protest for redress as soon as they arrived on-shore. They had evidence that they were actually not over the line. After a long hearing the Jury ruled them correct and they were granted the redress which put them back in first place and World Champions.

 

“We were definitely not over the line and we were lucky enough to have evidence of that. We were being very, very careful and I wouldn’t risk the title by doing such a mistake!! We have been training hard, we have been sailing well. It was time for a reward – we are the World Champions! Gee are we happy!!!” explains Echavarri with a big smile on his face.

 

“It’s very cool to be the Youth World Champions! Now our goal is to sail as well as the top guys!!!” says FRA Baptiste Balzeau. The Youth team finished 26th overall.

Friday's Report:

The NW sea-breeze brought sun and light winds back to La Rochelle

 

The Tornados are back on the water after the lay-day to race the 4 last races of the event: races 7 and 8 were sailed today and races 9 and 10 are scheduled for 10h00 tomorrow morning.

 

Race 7 - 7 to 8 knots of wind were waiting for the sailors on the course and a very strong sun was certainly not making it any easier. GBR Leigh McMillan and Will Howden were leading the pack for most of the race but on the final leg PUR Enrique Figueroa and Jorge Hernandez took the first position and crossed the line just in front of the British team. FRA Xavier Revill and Christophe Espagnon finished in third. Windsurfer Olympic medalists NZL Aaron McIntoch and ARG Carlos Espinola, who teamed up for this event, finished 4th. Both granted the Worlds for their home-countries after a very nice presentation for the fleet yesterday: 2006 Buenos Aires and 2008 Auckland.

 

“We shared the podium in Sydney, we are best friends, we are enjoying sailing together and we are getting better as a team everyday. That’s the best basis for a good partnership!” says Aaron McIntosch.

 

Provisional leaders of the event ESP Echavarri and Paz had a 6th, which put them under a little bit of pressure for the next race especially with McMillan and Howden having won the race.

 

Race 8 started with stronger wind, 12 knots, but it did not hold its strength and dropped to the range of 7-8 knots again and very shifty. Newcomers to the class ESP Javier Padron and Miguel Perez and AUS Glenn Ashby, 3 times A-Class World Champion, and Andrew Williams hold the first positions throughout the race.

 

“This is our first year in the class and we are still learning. We were training in conditions like today and it is good to see that it is paying off. But we have still a long way to go”, explains ESP Javier Padron.

 

“Today the most important thing for us was not boat speed but looking around and being flexible with the decisions we had to make. And it was worth it”, says AUS Glenn Ashby

 

ESP Echavarri and Paz raced very consistently once more and finished 3rd, remaining the leaders of the event and increasing the difference to the second in 11 points.

 

FRA Baptiste Balzeau and Gael Ledoux are leading the Youth World Championship.

Let’s see what the last day of the Worlds has to show us.
