PEGAN won out over the 21 competitors racing in Italy with AMARAL the best of the nine sailors competing using full servo assist winches to control helm and main and jib sheets to contest the IFDS Single-Person Dinghy World Championship. In addition to his Worlds' win, AMARAL finished second overall in the Sabaudia's Cup ahead of Singapore's Karim DIN ABDUL.

The persistent low pressure system which has dominated the weather in Italy continued to be a factor for sailors on Saturday with both races shortened due to the lift airs.

Both PEGAN and AMARAL maintained their winning ways on Saturday before going on to take dominant overall victories in better weather on Sunday. Australia's Colin JOHANSON claimed second place in the Worlds, with Portugal's Fernando PEREIRA completing the podium.
