Tunnicliffe, Vandemoer and Capozzi Win Worlds
vendredi 16 décembre 2011 –
Anna Tunnicliffe’s Team Maclaren of Molly Vandemoer and Debbie Capozzi won the the ISAF Sailing World Championships in Women’s Match Racing after defeating Lucy MacGregor (GBR) in four straight matches.
“We’re really excited right now,” s
aid Tunnicliffe moments after getting onshore from the racecourse. Racing took place on Fremantle’s Inner Harbour in front of a large crowd of spectators lining the sea wall.
“It’s amazing, we’ve put a lot of effort into this year and had a lot of big events we had to get through and this has really topped off all our hard training,” Tunnicliffe said. “The team sailed really well, it was tricky conditions, conditions that we actually thought we were weakest in so we’re psyched we came out on top.”
This is the first match racing World Championship title for Tunnicliffe, Vandemoer and Capozzi as a team, although Capozzi won the Worlds three times previous with another team. Tunnicliffe and Vandemoer teamed up to win the Snipe Women’s World championship.
