Wind deserts Optimist Worlds

IODA World Championship Day 6.

The glorious winds deserted the venue today and, despite moving the course far out into the bay, only one full race (Race 9) could be completed. Division A of Race 10 was completed but divisions B and C will have to wait until, hopefully, tomorrow.

Raul Rios (PUR) showed his versatility with his third bullet of the series, the sweeter for him as his closest rival Jens Marten (GER) was back in 42nd, so Raul has a 32 point lead over the new second-placed sailor Jordi Xammar (ESP).

Tomoyo Wakabayashi (JPN) had an excellent 8th and moved into the top ten which is where we have come to expect our best girl in recent years.


Malaysia was today voted as the venue for the 2010 IODA World Championship.

Under-bidder Poland was awarded the European Championship 2010.

2009 venues were confirmed as:
Worlds: Brasil
South Americans: Ecuador
North Americans: Dominican Republic
Europeans: Slovenia
Africans: South Africa
Asians: Malaysia

More details will be available on the IODA calendar shortly.
