In the 470 men final Sven COSTER and Kalle COSTER (NED) only needed to win one race to secure first position. They took a chance, taking a different course to Mathew BELCHER and Nick BEHRENS (AUS) and Alvaro MARINHO and Miguel NUNES (POR). The gamble did not pay off. The Australian and Portuguese teams caught the wind and finished ahead of the home sailors. BELCHER and BEHRENS followed this up with a win in race two to take the title ahead of MARINHO and NUNES.

All week the number one team in the ISAF World Sailing Rankings, Ingrid PETITJEAN and Nadège DOUROUX (FRA) had proved almost unbeatable in the 470 women fleet. Marcelien DE KONING and Lobke BERKHOUT (NED) and Elise RECHICHI and Tessa PARKINSON (AUS) could do nothing to halt their progress in the finals and the French pair added victory here to their win in the ISAF Grade 1 Semaine Olympique Française in Hyères. The young Australian team of RECHICHI and PARKINSON crowned an excellent week finishing second.

Fernando ECHAVARRI and Anton PAZ (ESP) came out on top in the Tornado final, Darren BUNDOCK and Edoardo BIANCHI (AUS) secured another excellent result for the Australian teams, whilst Mitch BOOTH and Herbert DERCKSEN (NED) ended in third position.

Stevie MORRISON and Ben RHODES (GBR) made it four winners from four different nations in the 49er fleet. Behind them Alberto PADRON and Javier DE LA PLAZA (ESP) and Pietro SIBELLO and Gianfranco SIBELLO (ITA) had to settle for the lesser podium places.

Unlike the finals, other races were delayed and some were eventually cancelled. The Finn and Mistral men and women, Yngling and Laser fleets did not race yesterday, so the overall results at the end of Saturday became final. Therefore Joeri VAN DIJK (NED) successfully defended his Mistral men title, winning by just a single point from HO Chi Ho (HKG), with CHENG Kwok Fai (HKG) third. The Hong Kong windsurfers went one better in the women's fleet. CHAN Wai Man (HKG) won by a point from CHAN Wai Kei (HKG) with Wiebke SRADNICK (GER) taking third placer.

Ben AINSLIE (GBR) had the Finn class wrapped up even before the final race was cancelled. It was a dominant return to the Finn for the Olympic champion, who had not raced in the class since winning in Athens last year. Second went to Hyères winners, Emilios PAPATHANASIOU (GRE), with Gasper VINCEC (SLO) taking third.

Thanks to a bullet in the penultimate race, the team of Sarah AYTON (GBR) made it three fleet wins for the Brits by taking the honours in the Yngling. AYTON finished two points ahead of Ruslana TARAN's (UKR) team, with the Americans helmed by Hannah SWETT in third.

Again their was no last day race in the Laser fleet so overnight leader, Tom SLINGSBY (AUS), adds victory here to his wins in Hyères and the ISAF Grade 2 Expert Olympic Garda. It all adds up to a terrific month for the Australian, who before his victory in France, had never won an ISAF Graded event. He took victory in style with a fifth win in race twelve. Number two in the ISAF World Sailing Rankings, Vasilij ZBOGAR (SLO), finished second, two places above Rankings' leader, Paul GOODISON (GBR), a result that could well be good enough to lift the Slovenian Olympic bronze medallist into the number one spot when the ISAF World Sailing Rankings are next released on 1 June Sandwiched between ZBOGAR and GOODISON was Luka RADELIÆ (CRO) in third. Like AINSLIE, Robert SCHEIDT (BRA) has one Olympic silver medal, two gold medals and is a two time ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year. Both were returning to racing in the fleets in which they are the current Olympic champions for the first time since they won in Athens last year. However SCHEIDT could not mimic AINSLIE's success here and finished seventh overall after a disappointing second half of the regatta.

They did manage a final race in the Star and it proved to be crucial, with ISAF World Sailing Rankings' leaders, Fredrik LÖÖF and Anders EKSTRÖM (SWE) finishing sixth and more significantly Mateusz KUSZNIEREWICZ and Dominik ZYCKI (POL) ending in ninth. It proved to be a costly result for the Polish team, who had put in a brilliant performance in only their third ISAF Graded event in the Star. They dropped behind LÖÖF and EKSTRÖM into second with third place going to Andy BEADSWORTH and David CARR (GBR).

They also managed a final race in the Laser Radial fleet. Sophie DE TURCKHEIM (FRA) was another Hyères winner to repeat her success here in the Netherlands. She could only manage 16th in the final race but crucially her nearest rivals faltered with Charlotte DOBSON (GBR) and Paige RAILEY (USA) both OCS in the final race, results which saw the pair dropping to sixth and seventh respectively. Second overall went to Britain's Lizzie VICKERS after a strong second half of the competition. Signie LINDJERG (DEN) finished third overall.

Results in Radial and across many of the other fleets look like they will have a major influence on the top of the ISAF World Sailing Rankings when they are released on 1 June.
