Australian Sailing’s athletes have won six medals at 2015 Delta Lloyd Regatta for Olympic and Paralympic classes which wrapped up on Saturday (30 May) in Medemblik, The Netherlands (26-30 May). After the final day in strong breeze, Australia topped the medal ranks together with host country Netherlands with six medals (two gold, two silver, two bronze).

Two of Australia’s gold medals came from the Paralympic classes with 2012 Paralympic Gold Medallists Daniel Fitzgibbon (NSW) and Liesl Tesch winning gold in the Skud-18 and Paralympians Colin Harrison (WA), Russell Boaden (WA) and Jonathan Harris (NSW) winning Gold in the Sonar. Paralympian Matt Bugg (TAS) took home the bronze medal in the 2.4mR.

In the Olympic classes Western Australian Matt Wearn won the Laser, Jake Lilley (QLD) took the silver in the Finn class and Joel Turner (QLD) and Lewis Brake (QLD) won the bronze in the 49er.

Crews that secured their outstanding qualification for Weymouth at Delta Lloyd Regatta were Australian Sailing Squad’s Will Phillips (VIC) and James Wierzbowski (VIC) in the 49er, Haylee Outteridge (NSW) and Sarah Cook (NSW) in the 49erFX, Mitch Kennedy (QLD) and former ASS member Jeremy O’Connell (VIC) in the Laser class, as well as Carrie Smith (WA) and Jaime Ryan (QLD) in the 470W.

The 31st edition of the popular Delta Lloyd Regatta, which is the biggest sailing event in the Netherlands, saw Australian Sailing’s full Paralympic Team (AST) and Squad (ASS), a total of nine athletes, compete in the three Paralympic classes of the Sonar, Skud 18 and 2.4MR.

In the Olympic classes, Australian Sailing was represented at Delta Lloyd Regatta with sixteen boats in nine of the ten Olympic events and managed to qualify eleven crews in eight events for the final top-ten medal races on Saturday.

Raced over five days, Delta Lloyd Regatta is part of the Eurosaf Champions Sailing Cup and a qualifier for the upcoming ISAF Sailing World Cup Weymouth (8-14 June 2015) for those crews who had not yet qualified.
