My two gold medals; the first one at the World Championship in the Europe dinghy in 1992 and the latest (but not the last?) in the ISAF Women’s Match Racing World Championship in 2003. |
World Championship - Gold |
My absolute greatest memory is when we took the gold medal in Sundsvall, Sweden this year. Overall this has been a great year with good results |
Every regatta won is very special, but to win in the World Championship 2003 - THAT was something!!! |

Short term; to defend the title in the 2004 World Championship and become 1st on the Women’s Match Racing World Ranking |
This match racing crew reached the pinnacle of their discipline in June 2003 when they won the ISAF Women’s Match Racing World Championship in Sundsvall, Sweden. A nail biting best of five finals saw two matches apiece, before Malin and crew claimed the decider and the World Championship title.
