Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]
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
Nacra 17
There were plenty of permutations possible in the Nacra 17 with ample medal opportunities across the top five racers.
Darren Bundock and Nina Curtis (AUS) had the advantage in the fleet with a seven point lead over Billy Besson and Marie Riou (FRA) and Vittorio Bissaro and Silvia Sicouri (ITA).
Unfortunately the Australians made an error on the race course as Bundock explained,
"We had to finish within three boats of French or within four boats of the Italians. We were doing that midway through the race but then they shortened the course and we stuffed up basically.
"We headed to the wrong mark and we ended up finishing second last and let the other guys get away. We finished third overall and the Italians finished first with the French in second.
"It’s a silly mistake on our behalf. They halved the leg and we weren’t expecting that at all. By the time we tacked and looked back it was all over.”
Bissaro and Sicouri and Besson and Riou were tied on 72 points upon the conclusion of the race but the Italians came through in second compared to the French teams third, which game them gold.
