GBR Ben Saxton & Diana Hammond ended close in points and were the most consistent with all top 6 results. In third place SUI Matias Buhler & Nathalie Brugger but 20 points behind. Friday racing ended with ITA Bissaro-Sicouri in third place but a protest left them with a dsq on a port-starboard cross relegating the Italians to the 8th.


Drama would be a leader scoring a 30 in the final race and losing the Gold, drama would be the uninvited guest scoring a bullet and reaching top 3. Needless to say a Medal race with 6 boats as they did a Kiel Week is hilarious, plus the foreseen possibility since day one to be able not to race the entire Qualy series and still get a medal chance as it happened at Hyeres.
But well, these are just details, although the truth is they don´t even know what to do, showed by the constant changes explained above.
Still much to come and learn for all the crews that participated, 65 boats was a good number for an initial Worlds. The media coverage was really good with constant updates and Live gps tracing, the only problem was poor wind conditions. Beyond the scoring system and as remarked in this great period with Multis back to Olympics, the Class, the boat and Mandatory Mixed crews are pure Success.
