Casey on track at Finn World Championship

Australian sailor Brendan Casey is on track for his best ever finish at a Finn World Championship as he heads into the final medal race at the 2010 event in seventh position.

Held in fantastic sailing conditions on San Francisco bay Casey has had a consistent week and finds himself well entrenched in the top 10 for Saturday’s final race.

Throughout the week Casey has finished in the top 15 in eight of the 10 races and is 12 points off sixth position with just the double points medal race left to go.

After two years away from the Finn class Casey returned at Sail Sydney in December 2009, winning the event before finishing 13th at his first ISAF Sailing World Cup event in Miami in January.

Since then Casey finished 11th at round five of the World Cup in Holland before picking up an eighth recently at the Skandia Sail for Gold regatta at the venue for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Fellow Australian Anthony Nossiter is in 19th position in his first major international Finn regatta since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Young Victorian sailor Oliver Tweddell is in 33rd position with the 19-year-old having a solid regatta following his third position at the recent Finn Silver Cup in San Francisco last week.

Tweddell’s performance is even more impressive given that the 2010 Finn World Championship is just his third regatta in the class.

James Patterson is in 42nd position, the South Australian sailor won his last regatta the opening round of the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Melbourne last December.

Rob McMillan is following closely behind in 44th, ahead of West Australian Tim Castles in 50th.

Warwick Hill finished the qualifying races in 53rd with David Giles 58th and Chris Caldecoat 64th and Philip Toth 69th.
