Musto Skiff Worlds 2008 - 1. Richard Stenhouse (GBR) 2. Roger Oswald (SUI) 3. Oliver Graeme (GBR) SW

The final day of the Musto Skiff Worlds and the old and new World Champion is Britain's Richard Stenhouse. Saturday once again offered the best conditions, the Maloja wind arrived in time for lunch giving ideal sailing conditions on Lake Silvaplana.

Stenhouse continued to dominate the series right to the final race, finishing with 13 points from the ten races he counted and 28 points ahead of second placed Roger Oswald of Switzerland.

Oswald held off the challenge of Oliver Graeme of Britain who finished one point behind for third place overall. In fourth was Bruce Keen (GBR) three points back, fifth Dave Poston (GBR) and in sixth, Pablo Arandia of Spain.

Competitors praised both the organisation, Wettfahrtleitung, the panel and the environment were simply wonderful, weltmeisterlich!
