From the words of the sailors competing at ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyères it was a beautiful ending to a perfect week. More than 1,100 sailors from 59 nations raced at the final ISAF Sailing World Cup regatta of the 2013-2014 series and were treated to exceptional race action. Medals across the ten Olympic events were decided on the final day with a 10-12 knot westerly breeze on flat water bringing a superb week to an end

ISAF Sailing World Cup Melbourne winner Tatiana Drozdovskaya (BLR) entered the Medal Race with a three point lead over Evi Van Acker (BEL).
Van Acker relinquished her lead the day prior having sailed the wrong course and counted a high score that handed Drozdovskaya the advantage going into the last day.
Van Acker went out with intent and sailed a superb race that she lead from off to take the bullet and gold as she explained,
"I just had a strategy that I discussed with my coach and everything just worked out.
"I was the only one starting at the pin end. Everybody else was middle of the line or boat end so I was happy I was down there so could have a good start.
"I played the left side more than the others and I was in front from the beginning. Once you’re sailing in front it’s no so hard, if you’re at the back it’s quite difficult.”
Hyères is one of Van Acker’s favourite venues as she was thrilled to take the regatta victory,
"Hyeres is always the toughest World Cup to win. I’ve managed to win it only once before and now it’s really nice to win it for a second time because it’s a difficult venue.
"It’s my first win in a very long time so I’m really happy. I had a lot of fans on the water, all the team went out and it was great fun. I’m really happy that I could make up from my stupid mistake yesterday.”
Marit Bouwmeester (NED) finished the Medal Race in second which was not enough to move in to silver medal position as Drozdovskaya held on to second podium spot with a third.
