The Australian Sailing Team’s Jessica Crisp has narrowly missed out on a place in the medal race at the 2010 RS:X World Championship in Kerteminde, Denmark, finishing the regatta in 11th position.

Crisp started the day in 15th position and fought hard in the opening race of the day in light shifty conditions to cross the line eighth, moving her up to 11th overall.

Unfortunately the light winds didn’t allow any further racing on Friday leaving Crisp just two points outside the top 10 that will contest Saturday’s medal race.

The three-time Olympian was unlucky to miss out on the medal race after finishing in the top 10 in six of the eight race during the week, including a second and a third placing on day two.

In the women’s Silver fleet Joanna Sterling finished the regatta in 25th position in just her second RS:X World Championships.

In the men’s competition Tim Gourlay was the best placed Australian in 20th in the Silver fleet, ahead of Luke Baillie in 37th and James Levy in 39th.

Joel Tyack ended the week in 44th, one place ahead of Eamon Robertshaw with Patrick Vos 48th.
