French sailors Kevin Fisher and Glenn Gouron consolidated today and won the Worlds by 28 points.

Pepe Bettini and Fernando Gwozdz, the perpetual bridesmaid, sailed to second overall with a 10-3-2 final day.

Danish sailors Oscar Haumann and Taus Holtug who lead the majority of the event, tied for third with Lorezo Franceschini and Riccardo Camin of Italy, losing and having to settle for fouth overall.

However, Haumann and Holtug won the Highest Placing Youth Team award. Top placing women’s team was Ida Marie Baad Nielsen and Marie Thusgaard Olsen of Denmark who also won this trophy in 2009.

Young Bahamian sailors from the Grand Bahama Sailing Club Optimist and Laser program were able to view world class sailing up close and experience the camaraderie that international sailing affords.
