Formula Worlds Event Summary

Wednesday 13th July, 2011 - 8:53am

The Formula Windsurfing Class sent their Event Summary from the 2011 World Championships in Puerto Rico.

Antoine Albeau - Formula Windsurfing World Champion 2011

6 race wins, 4 seconds and 2 thirds netted Antoine Albeau a 22 point lead at the end of the 2011 Puerto Rico Formula Windsurfing Championships and he retains the title of men's Formula Windsurfing
Champion.

Final Results

Arnon Dagan, taking 3 bullets from 4 starts today finally showed us the dominating speed he had whilst we were testing the week before the event. Arnon dragged back 2nd overall after today (his best result in a FW World Championships) knocking out the super consistent Gabriel Browne, who had a couple of 4th's and a 7th today to keep on the podium in 3rd overall.

In the Women's Fleet, Marion Lepert, USA 143, was first lady in 9 of the races and took top spot ahead of Morane Demont, FRA 59, pushing her hard with six race wins - so just three points in it. Ana Sofia Cardoso from Brazil took third place.

The organisers have done a great job here in Puerto Rico, definitely put on a great event and the conditions during the week were very conducive of great racing. Particular thanks to the locals who took that extra step to help out a lot of us sailors with all sorts of non-racing related requests we had too!

And to round off proceedings, a fabulous prizegiving ceremony in Old San Juan.
