2018 International 14 World Championships at Richmond Yacht Club - Day 5

by Simon Butterworth 20 Aug 2018 22:12 PDT 16-25 August 2018

Lots of worried faces in the boat park - it looked windy, very windy... But PRO, Del Olsen, assured the International 14 skiff fleet that everything would settle down. Local knowledge proved right and a decisive fourth race for the Germans.

Georg Borkenstein and 'Big' Eike Dietrich lead from start to finish with the Brits and Australians, Daniel Holman/ Alex Knight and Lindsay Irwin/ Andrew Perry respectively taking second and third.
