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

Pieter Jan Postma (NED) had gold in the bag ahead of the Medal Race and sailed with a clear head, finishing sixth to cap off a great week.
"It’s my first world cup win,” said the experienced Dutch sailor. "I’ve always been there for years and years and I’ve never managed to step up so this week was awesome.
"It feels like a personal victory as I topped my best. I’ve got a few more grey hairs but I managed to deal better with my opportunities and I’ve been able to play out my strengths on the battlefield.”
The fight for silver and bronze was between Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic (CRO) and Thomas Le Breton. Three points split the pair with a Croatian advantage. Gaspic finished up in third place to take silver whilst Le Breton came away with bronze.
Jorge Zarif (BRA) took the Medal Race victory and ended up ninth overall.
