Racing at the 2014 ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship in Tavira, Portugal came to a thrilling conclusion as the medals across the eight events were decided. For the first time in their history the Spanish team have won the ISAF Youth Worlds Nations Trophy after a controlling display. Across the eight fleets Spanish sailors picked up three gold medals and a silver. Three of the teams finished in the top ten ensuring they were the most consistent nation out of the 67 competing in Tavira.
29er
Having lost the 29er lead they had held all week on the penultimate day France’s Brice Yrieix and Loic Fischer Guillou hit back on the final day to take gold.
The pair trailed America’s Quinn Wilson and Riley Gibbs by one point overnight but were able to level the scores up after the first race of the day. With both teams on 47 points it was a winner takes all bout. The French maintained their composure and came through in sixth whilst the Americans finished 13th sparking French celebrations on the water.
"There was a lot of pressure before the last race because we were in second,” said Yrieix, "but now I am very happy because we are World Champions and our next goal is the 29er World Championship.”
A smiley Fischer Guillou added, "I feel great, this is the result we wanted.”
It was a deserved victory for the French pair who have been consistent performers on the race course throughout the 13 race series.
The Americans take away silver whilst Markus Somerville and Isaac Mchardie (NZL) walk away in bronze.
