Number 1 in the World Rankings!

Wednesday 10th February, 2010

We’re delighted to announce that in the latest ISAF World Rankings released today we have been named “Number 1” !!

For the last two years we’ve dedicated ourselves full-time as professional athletes to the new Olympic discipline of match racing, developing a rigorous training programme and consistently achieving good results at top level events around the world. Our efforts have been rewarded as we’ve been steadily climbing the world rankings, and it’s a great feeling to have finally ended Claire Leroy’s four and a half year reign in the top spot.

We’re now looking forward to another busy season ahead, and hope to continue enjoying great competition and improving our game in the Elliott 6m — the new Olympic Class in which we hope to be representing GBR at Portland and Weymouth in 2012.

Video from Rolex Miami OCR

The first part of the video below features some of the action from the finals of the Women’s Match Racing at the Rolex Miami OCR. Although it chops and changes a bit, and misses the crucial final leg of the deciding match, you can see how close and exciting the one-on-one match racing is — and the potential this event has for good media coverage at the Olympics in 2012.
