ISAF Nations Cup — The Final

Saturday 28th March, 2009

Internet problems in Brazil apparently so here’s a quick summary from the text messages received tonight…

The first race of the finals was held yesterday evening in 20+ kts of breeze, the girls got off to a good start 1–0 up against world #1 Claire Leroy.

Unfortunately the wind gods were not on side today, again bringing very light and flukey conditions. From what we understand, Claire took the first race today to level up 1–1. Lucy was leading in the following two races, but despite best efforts they were unable to keep the highly experience French team at bay. Final result 3–1 to Claire.

So Claire Leroy takes the Nations Cup title for the second time, having won the previous event in 2006. However our girls have achieved another very credible result and are continuing to get ever closer to knocking Leroy off the top spot :)

More from Lucy and Co in the next couple of days, but in the meantime check out this video of the action in the early stages of the event…
