Rolex IMS Offshore World Championship

Capri

Yachts participating the IMS Rolex Worlds 2002, organised by Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, are racing the second part of their Offshore Regatta, that started on Tuesday morning.

The yachts will race more than 170 miles across Salerno's Gul, and there is a very light wind (no more than 8 knots) that has caused obvious problem. Rounding San Marco Castellabate's mark, the sails reached the jury's boat early yesterday morning.

At the end of the first regatta, Pasquale Landolfi's "Brava Q8" for division "A" and Natalio Cepollaro's "Bix" for division "B" were in first position. The provisional results after this third regatta sees therefore "Brava Q8" and the greek "Okyalos XII" dominating the two divisions, racing for Marco Peroni's Trophy.

The Men's 470 lead went to and fro all week but Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic (CRO) held their nerve to add a gold medal to their two silvers from the 2013-2014 ISAF Sailing World Cup series. Silver went to Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom (SWE) whilst Mat Belcher and Will Ryan (AUS) took bronze.

Female ISAF Rolex World Sailors of the Year Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie (NZL) won the Women's 470 Medal Race and with it gold as they made it three consecutive 200-point regatta wins in a row.
France's Camille Lecointre and Hélène Defrance had held the lead in the Women's 470 for the large part of the week but came undone on the final day as a sixth knocked them off gold medal position. They were made to settle for silver whilst bronze went to Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR).

Billy Besson and Marie Riou went into the Nacra 17 Medal Race with an unassailable 22 point lead and the gold medal sewn up.
