29er Worlds at Lake Silvaplana, Switzerland - Day 3

by Dave Hall, Ovington Boats 26 Aug 2004 09:21 BST

Russell Coutts opened the championships with the remark 'If I was 25 years younger I'd be sailing a 29er!'

After 3 days od spectacular racing beneath snow capped mountains in this magnificent venue you can see exactly what he means.

The 87 strong fleet was split into 2 equal groups, each fleet alternating with the other in 10 windward - leeward races over the 3 days. Two boats, the British Crewsaver team of Tristen Jaques & Alain Sign and the flying Fins Lauri Lehtinen and Mikka Pennennen in Arcadia have dominated the qualifying series with 4 and 5 firsts respectively. jaques & Sign lead with 16 points from Lehtinen & Pennanans 17 points. These 2 boats have yet to race each other so the spectators are in for a treat in the 3 day gold series starting Thursday.

In hot pursuit of these two are the winners of the recent International championship in Weymouth, the Australians Dave O'Conner and Scott Babbage on 23 points who in turn have a massive 26 point lead over last years Worlds runner up from Argentina Pepe Bettini & Frederico Villambrosa. In the strongest International fleet for years, the gold fleet has 6 British, 5 USA, 2 Argentineans, 3 Fins, 2 Danish, 2 German, 2 Swiss, 2 Australians, and 1 New Zealand boats.

The sky is blue, the mountains white, the wind 15 to 20 knots and the water is emerald green and just above freezing!
