Campeonato Nacional de Snipe 2011
Com organização do Clube de Vela Atlântico realizou-se nas águas de Leixões o Campeonato Nacional da Classe Snipe 2011 – Troféu Eng. Manuel Pessanha.
No primeiro dia as condições climatéricas não foram as melhores e a chuva e nevoeiro dificultaram muito a acção da Comissão de Regata e também da frota. Ainda assim, nesse dia conseguiu-se realizar o programa na integra com as 3 primeiras regatas com ventos do quadrante sudoeste e oeste a variar entre os 6 e os 8 nós.
No segundo e terceiro dias o sol e o vento norte, ainda que com intensidade média a variar entre os 12 e os 16 nós permitram a realização de três regatas em cada dia ficando assim o programa completo com 9 regatas todas elas com excelente qualidade.
Tiago Roquette e Rui Castilho foram os grandes vencedores do certame com Tiago Roquette a inscrever o seu nome no troféu perpétuo pela 13ª vez. A sua primeira vitória foi em 1987 altura em que alguns dos seus adversários ainda não eram nascidos. A dupla Diogo Pereira e Pedro Dias colocou grande pressão e incerteza no resultado até à ultima regata. A dupla Luís Pessanha e Paula Araújo realizou um excelente campeonato ocupando o último lugar do pódio.
Cinco tripulações diferentes venceram regatas o que demonstra a grande competitividade que este campeonato teve.
No final, a cerimónia de entrega de prémios coroou os vencedores e encerrou mais uma excelente, e por todos reconhecida, organização a todos os níveis do Clube de Vela Atlântico.

Velejador João Rodrigues entra para o Guiness
João Rodrigues ainda de Mistral
O madeirense João Rodrigues fez esta terça-feira história, ao tornar-se o primeiro velejador a fazer a travessia em prancha à vela entre a ilha da Madeira e as ilhas Selvagens.
O atleta português com mais presenças em Jogos Olímpicos ganhou também o direito de ver o seu nome inscrito no "Guiness", como a travessia mais longa jamais conseguida em prancha à vela (windsurf), numa só etapa.
O velejador partiu hoje (06:30) ao nascer do Sol e navegou ao longo de 160 milhas e de quase 12 horas sem parar, cumprindo um sonho de há muito tempo.
A iniciativa integrou o programa das comemorações do 40.º aniversário da criação da Reserva Natural das Ilhas Selvagens, a primeira reserva natural de Portugal. Por coincidência, João Rodrigues também completa 40 anos a 02 de novembro.
O velejador madeirense foi acompanhado pelas embarcações Freira-do-Bugio e pelo navio patrulha da Marinha Portuguesa Cacine. A dar apoio, já mais perto das ilhas Selvagens, esteve também o veleiro Búteo.
João Rodrigues foi campeão e vice campeão do Mundo de prancha à vela, em 1995 e 2008, tetracampeão Europeu, conta com 121 internacionalizações e 51 medalhas conquistadas em competições internacionais - 22 de ouro, 16 de prata e 13 de bronze.

Atletas suspendem actividade, despacho publicado!
O despacho que revoga a suspensão do estatuto de utilidade pública desportiva da Federação Portuguesa de Vela (FPV) foi publicado nesta terça-feira em Diário da República, um dia depois de os 15 velejadores que integram o projecto olímpico terem suspendido a actividade, por não estarem a receber as verbas determinadas.
Em causa, além do arrastamento da situação de ilegalidade da FPV, está um vazio operacional que dura há cerca de um mês. Face à situação da Federação, foi o Comité Olímpico de Portugal quem assumiu a gestão das verbas, mas esse protocolo terminou a 18 de Maio, e desde então não foram canalizadas verbas para os atletas.
Gustavo Lima, um dos 15 atletas envolvidos, lamentou que as soluções para a falta de financiamento na vela estejam a ser procuradas com um mês de atraso. «Os velejadores não têm condições para subsidiar o projecto olímpico no qual estão por mérito próprio», afirmou o velejador da classe Star, em declarações à Lusa, adiantando que «a maior parte dos atletas que estão integrados no Projecto Londres 2012 já adiantaram verbas entre 30 e os 60 mil euros».
Acrescentou ainda que as bolsas olímpicas estão em dia e que as verbas que estão em atraso são relativas à actividade desportiva, lembrando ao mesmo tempo que «este é um problema que se arrasta há dois anos», e acusando o presidente da Federação de «arranjar uma confusão e prejudicar a vela», por não ter adequado dentro dos prazos os estatutos ao novo regime jurídico das federações, o problema na origem desta situação.
José Manuel Leandro, o presidente da FPV, acredita que agora tudo se resolverá. «Estou confiante que as coisas se resolvam rapidamente. Espero reunir com o Instituto do Desporto e com o Comité Olímpico ainda hoje ou amanhã. A revogação da suspensão já foi publicada e é essa a relevância que queremos dar», afirmou, citado pela Lusa. O dirigente defende que a Federação «deu tudo o que tinha e não tinha para minimizar os estragos» na preparação olímpica e prevê que tudo volte à normalidade «dentro de dias».
Vicente de Moura, presidente do Comité Olímpico de Portugal, mostrou-se por sua vez desagradado com os atletas. «O Comité Olímpico está profundamente magoado e quase que se arrepende de se ter envolvido neste processo. Se há culpados, têm de ser encontrados na Federação Portuguesa de Vela. Nós tentámos ajudar e não estávamos à espera da incompreensão dos atletas, que mostra um pouco falta de carácter. Desaponta-me profundamente e fazem com que o Comité Olímpico se vá afastar deste processo», afirmou.
A FPV volta a gozar do estatuto de utilidade pública desportiva um ano depois da suspensão, e um mês depois de ter adequado os estatutos. O processo arrastava-se desde Dezembro de 2008, quando entrou em vigor o novo regime jurídico das federações desportivas.

Atletas olímpicos cessam treinos até que a questão financeira esteja "totalmente resolvida"
Os velejadores olímpicos informaram hoje que não retomarão os treinos até que a questão da atribuição das verbas destinadas à preparação para os Jogos de Londres, em 2012, esteja "totalmente resolvida".
"Os velejadores consideram assim que até a situação estar totalmente resolvida não retomarão a actividade", conclui o comunicado da equipa de 15 velejadores olímpicos, que suspenderam a actividade segunda-feira, devido à falta de condições financeiras.Os velejadores advertem que "a participação na sexta etapa da Taça do Mundo, que teve como palco o mesmo local da realização dos próximos Jogos Olímpicos, foi totalmente suportada pelos velejadores, não tendo estes recebido até à data, por parte das entidades competentes, quaisquer montantes relativos a esta deslocação".
"A opção de suspender a actividade por parte dos velejadores deve-se a que esta é uma situação recorrente, insustentável, na medida em que nenhum velejador consegue subsidiar a sua própria campanha, dramática, uma vez que estamos a poucos meses da qualificação para os Jogos Olímpicos de Londres 2012, intolerável e imperativa na obtenção de uma solução definitiva", alertam.
O comunicado é assinado por Álvaro Marinho (470), Miguel Nunes (470), Gustavo Lima (Star), Rúbrio Basílio (Star), Afonso Domingos (Star), Frederico Melo (Star), Jorge Lima (49er), José Luis Costa (49er), Bernardo Freitas (49er), Francisco Andrade (49er), João Rodrigues (RS:X), Sara Carmo (Laser Radial), Rita Gonçalves (Match Racing), Diana Neves (Match Racing) e Mariana Lobato (Match Racing).
Terça-feira, o Comité Olímpico de Portugal (COP) tinha reiterado que as bolsas olímpicas foram pagas aos 15 velejadores, que no dia anterior tinham suspendido a actividade, manifestando estranheza e lamentando a atitude dos atletas.
"Até à data indicada, encontram-se integralmente pagas todas as despesas apresentadas pelos atletas, bem como as respectivas bolsas olímpicas, a estes e aos seus treinadores, sendo o COP fiel depositário de um saldo remanescente que ascende a 100 mil euros, a ser entregue à Federação de Vela, logo que o Instituto do Desporto de Portugal (IDP), como lhe compete, der instruções para tal", observou o COP, em comunicado.

ORACLE Racing brings America’s Cup action to San Francisco Bay
San Francisco, Calif., Monday, June 13, 2011
America’s Cup champion ORACLE Racing sparked the imagination of San Francisco Bay area residents today when it took to the waters of the 2013 host venue in its rapid AC45 multihulls.
It was one of three firsts: first time ORACLE Racing has sailed in its home waters since winning the America’s Cup in Spain 16 months ago; debut of the next-generation Cup boats on the Bay; first on-the-water action after San Francisco was named Host City of the 34th America’s Cup in January.
The team hosted a press conference at Golden Gate Yacht Club and then took members of the media sailing on its wingsailed cats, impressing all who saw them.
“Spectacular San Francisco Bay and extreme boats is the kind of cool sailing I’m interested in,” said Master of Ceremonies Jonny Moseley, the 1998 free-ski Olympic Gold medalist.
ORACLE Racing is now immersed in the hours of on-the-water practice and design development necessary to retain the oldest trophy in international sport.
“Our priorities last year were to create the vision for the next America’s Cup, and then empower the independent America’s Cup Event Authority and America’s Cup Race Management organizations to drive that vision forward,” said ORACLE Racing CEO Russell Coutts. “Now our focus is preparing our defense of the Cup.”
ORACLE Racing skipper James Spithill added: “For us as sailors, the next America’s Cup began in February with the launch of the prototype AC45. These boats are awesome to sail. In San Francisco you’ll get rewarded for pushing the boat hard – unless you go over the limit!”
The AC45 catamaran will be used in the America’s Cup World Series through 2012, before giving way to the AC72 in 2013. The AC45 is a one-design; all parts of the boat are identical. The AC72 will be created independently by each team as they strive to win the Louis Vuitton Cup, America’s Cup Challenger Series, to meet ORACLE Racing in the America’s Cup Finals. The AC72 stands to reach much greater performance levels than the AC45.
“We want fast and dramatic boats that will produce close racing in front of the public and broadcast around the world with cutting-edge TV technology,” added Coutts
ORACLE Racing last sailed its AC45s in May at the America’s Cup pre-season trials in New Zealand. That session was designed to test new racecourse configurations and the new digital race management and television graphics systems.
In San Francisco, the team’s boats will serve as test platforms to allow the race organizers to optimize the pioneering technology ahead of August’s inaugural America’s Cup World Series event in Cascais, Portugal.
“Our short-term goal is to get our crew work race-ready for the America’s Cup World Series,” said ORACLE Racing tactician John Kostecki. “The ACWS will allow fans around the world to enjoy America’s Cup class racing. August will be the first time that ORACLE Racing takes on other teams entered in the next America’s Cup.”

Act 4 - Extreme 40
After the epic Act in Istanbul, the Extreme Sailing Series™ now heads to new shores for Act 4 – Boston in the USA – the first time the circuit has staged an official event in the United States. "Boston is proud to be the first U.S. city to host the 2011 Extreme Sailing Series to our waterfront for the city’s July 4th celebration – one of the largest in the nation,” said Thomas M. Menino, Mayor, City of Boston. Watch the Boston promo here.
Fan Pier, Boston the venue for Act 4 of the Extreme Sailing Series
The Boston event will be staged at Fan Pier as part of the Boston Harborfest celebrations and it is lining up to be a very special event… Join the Facebook page. Taking place from Thursday, 30th June to Monday, 4th July, every day is open to the public and there will be plenty of attractions. The 11-boat Extreme 40 fleet will showcase their close combat ‘stadium’ style of racing in front of the spectators at Fan Pier, a 21-acre site on Boston’s waterfront spanning nine city blocks, owned by the Fallon Company, the official host venue partner to the Boston Act. The Extreme 40s will be supported by 49er racing, Laser and J22s racing for the official charity Courageous Sailing, fireworks, live music and street performers, and aerial demos from the Red Bull Air Force skydivers. Media partner Boston’s Fox25 TV will be capturing all the action as part of their scheduled live programming from Fan Pier.

“As part of our ongoing evolvement to bring more and more to the spectators both on and off the water, we are really delighted with the Boston line-up and especially that the Olympic 49er Class can join us for the first time this year,” said Gilles Chiorri, Events Director, OC ThirdPole. Some of the USA’s and Canada’s finest 49er sailors will be showcasing their skills to the crowds ahead of the Extreme 40 racing.
The public will have plenty to enjoy but for the Extreme 40 sailors, their focus is purely on one thing – winning Act 4. After three events in Muscat (Oman), Qingdao (China) and Istanbul (Turkey), three different teams have so far claimed victories – Groupe Edmond de Rothschild (Muscat), Luna Rossa (Qingdao) and Artemis Racing (Istanbul) skippered by American Terry Hutchinson. Can another team claim victory in Boston? Dean Barker’s Emirates Team New Zealand came so close in Istanbul and is desperate for a win. Red Bull Extreme Sailing, on the podium in Muscat, but an outright event win still eludes them - a victory in Boston would be a mighty celebration as the US round is supported by local event partner, Red Bull. And despite their crash in Istanbul, Alinghi, helmed by 2010 runner-up Yann Guichard, is raising their game with a podium finish within their sights. And now The Wave, Muscat has a new skipper in the form of Britain’s Leigh McMillan, who helped steer Ecover into third place overall in 2010, taking over the reigns from Torvar Mirsky.

A total of 43 races were staged in Istanbul – the most ever at one event in the circuit’s history – and this could be replicated, or even exceeded, in Boston if the weather plays ball. The short 15-minute races are mentally and physically demanding. Find out what a ‘day in the Extreme 40’ office is like for Red Bull Extreme Sailing bowman, Craig Monk.

Falta de financiamento trava velejadores olímpicos
 |
Os 15 velejadores portugueses que integram o Projeto Londres'2012 suspenderam esta segunda-feira a atividade devido à falta de condições financeiras e arriscam falhar os Jogos Olímpicos do próximo ano.
Num comunicado enviado à Agência Lusa, os atletas revelam que não têm recebido as verbas destinadas à preparação olímpica por parte da Federação Portuguesa de Vela (FPV) e que têm feito "um grande esforço financeiro" para estar presente em competições internacionais.
"As verbas destinadas à preparação olímpica dos velejadores, a que estes têm direito por obtenção de resultados de mérito desportivo, e formalmente contratualizadas, não estão a chegar aos atletas e por esse motivo torna-se impossível competir ao nível internacional", lê-se no comunicado.
A nota dos 15 velejadores adianta que a participação na sexta etapa do ISAF World Cup - Sail for Gold, que se realizou no último fim-de-semana em Weymouth (Inglaterra), local onde vai decorrer a prova olímpica em 2012, foi financiada pelos próprios.
"Os velejadores olímpicos fizeram um grande esforço financeiro para estarem presentes na regata Sail for Gold, pois consideraram que era de extrema importância competir no local onde irão ser disputadas as regatas olímpicas. Importa referir que Portugal era o único país em competição que não tinha qualquer treinador, à exceção de João Rodrigues e Rita Gonçalves, que fizeram questão de financiar a atividade dos seus treinadores", revelam os atletas.
Nesse sentido, os velejadores decidiram suspender a atividade "até que a situação se resolva" e vão falhar para já o Campeonato da Europa de Classes Olímpicas, em Kiel, Alemanha.
"Os velejadores olímpicos decidiram parar a sua atividade até que a situação se resolva, sob pena de não conseguirem assim apurar Portugal para estar presente nos Jogos Olímpicos de Londres 2012, qualificação que se realizará em Perth (Austrália) no próximo mês de dezembro", lê-se na nota.
Os atletas acusam ainda a Secretaria de Estado da Juventude e do Desporto (SEJD) e o Comité Olímpico de Portugal (COP) de nada fazerem para solucionar os problemas.
"Poderiam ter evitado mais este interregno na atividade dos velejadores olímpicos, mas não o fizeram", lamentam.

Skandia Sail For Gold Regatta - Último dia
‘Tougher competition than the Olympics’ was Ben Ainslie’s summary of Skandia Sail for Gold 2011. It was medal race day and the tension could be felt throughout the boat park as the elite of each Olympic discipline prepared to be tested. There was so much on the line – possible Olympic selection, ISAF World Cup points, the regatta result and of course a hefty dose of pride. Five hours later and spectators had been treated to some stunning racing, topped off when Ainslie clinically dispatched another rival to take gold. Ainslie’s win sealed Britain’s place as the top nation sailing nation at the 2012 Olympic venue. Australia was the only country that could match the home team’s gold medal tally across 13 Olympic and Paralympic classes.
It was the Women’s Match Racing that got going first, and Sally Barkow, Elizabeth Kratizig-Burnham and Alana O'Reilly (USA) recovered the form that took them so smoothly through the early rounds. The Americans took the bronze medal from Claire Leroy, Elodie Bertrand and Marie Riou (FRA) with a 2-0 sweep. It was not much different in the final, where Barkow’s compatriots, Anna Tunnicliffe, Molly Vendemoer and Debbie Capozzi swept imperiously past current World Champions, Lucy Macgregor, Annie Lush and Kate Macgregor (GBR). Tunnicliffe and her team took the gold medal without the loss of a single race. It left the Brits with silver, sandwiched between the two Americans in gold and bronze.
The rest of the action got underway on the two medal race courses on Portland Harbour. First off was the Laser class, where the top three placed sailors could not be moved off the podium - it was just a question of what colour they would take home. Reigning Laser Olympic Champion Paul Goodison (GBR) had to finish one place ahead of Andrew Murdoch (NZL) to take the silver, and five places ahead of current World Champion Tom Slingsby (AUS) to take gold. Goodison got pushed out on to the unfavoured side of the first leg, and rounded the first mark in last place. Slingsby stayed in control throughout the race finishing second to Murdoch’s sixth. Goodison could do no better than ninth – and so it was gold for Slingsby, silver for Murdoch and bronze for Goodison.
The 470 men were next off and by now the wind was up and gusting to 15 knots. It was a race for silver and gold between the French and Australian teams, Pierre Leboucher and Vincent Garos (FRA) holding a five point advantage from the reigning Olympic and World Champions, Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page from Australia. The French pairing took hold of the race from the start gun, they led at the first mark and were never challenged. The Australians meanwhile were having a terrible time and eventually finished last – but it was still enough for silver. The bronze medal was a much closer affair and it was the Greek pairing of Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis that closed a four point gap to pass Gideon Kliger and Eran Sela from Israel – the latter only managing a ninth place. Athens and Beijing Olympic silver medallist Nick Rogers and his new crew, Chris Grube stepped up into fourth.
The Laser Radials were keen to get going, and a general recall brought the black flag out for the second attempt - a sure sign that race officials were anxious to keep things moving to the schedule. Marit Bouwmeester was never out of the top three throughout the race and never looked challenged for gold. She made absolutely certain of it with a strong final leg to win both the race and the gold medal. Behind Bouwmeester, Evi van Acker was making it hard to hold onto her silver medal, after rounding the first mark last. But the Belgian stormed back through the fleet to finish third and secure silver. Ireland’s young up and coming talent Annalise Murphy finished sixth, but that was enough to keep the bronze medal.
In the 470 women, New Zealanders Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie had a 16 point lead that all but guaranteed them gold. They sailed a safe race to finish fifth and secured the medal. Behind them there was a tough battle for the other podium positions, with Camille Lecointre and Mathilde Geron (FRA), Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR), and Gil Cohen and Vered Bouskila (ISR) within 11 points of each other at the outset. Mills and Clarke secured the silver with a third place, leaving Lecointre and Geron with bronze after they could only manage an eighth. Cohen and Bouskila had an even worse day, finishing dead last and slipping to fifth.
If the Radials were keen to get going, then the 49ers were super-charged. A full five boats, fifty percent of the fleet were over the line at the start, including series leaders, Australians Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jenson. Two of the British boats were caught, John Pink and Rick Peacock, along with Paul Brotherton and Mark Asquith, and France’s Julien D’Ortoli and Noe Delpech – all of them returned and cleared the start line. The exception was Italy’s Sibello brothers, who didn’t return and were penalised – desperately unfortunate as they finished the race in second place. But Outteridge and Jensen demonstrated that they were the class act in Weymouth, recovering from their restart to secure gold by finishing second behind their teammates, Will and Sam Phillips. The result should now secure the top Aussies selection for 2012. The battle for the other medals was settled in favour of France’s Stephane Christidis and Peter Hansen, taking silver from Britain’s Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes in bronze.
The RS:X Women saw a storming performance from the bronze medallist in Beijing - Bryony Shaw. But Shaw hadn’t done enough earlier in the week for her medal race win to get her anywhere near the podium – finishing eighth overall - and the real battle was fought behind her. The gold was decided between Poland’s Zofia Klepacka and Spain’s Marina Alabau - on equal points heading into the medal race. It went to Alabau with a solid second behind Shaw, Klepacka only managing a sixth to end up with silver. The bronze went to Lee Korzits (ISR), who beat Maja Dziarnowska by the one place she required to get third – the pair were last and second to last!
The Star fleet all arrived at the first mark at the same time – and it took some cool manoeuvring from America’s Mark Mendelblatt to go around ahead, after coming into the medal race in a lowly tenth place. But all eyes were on Brazil’s Robert Scheidt and Bruno Prada and their contest with Sweden’s Fredrik Loof and Max Salminen. They started the day tied for the lead with 32 points each – but they weren’t up for the match race, electing to sail their own races. On the second windward leg they split sides after Loof trailed Scheidt in ninth place at the end of the first lap. Schedit didn’t cover Loof who went all the way to the left hand corner – too far, as it turned out. Loof overstood the third mark, Scheidt rounded in third and the gold medal was won, Loof forced to settle for silver despite a blistering final run. Italy’s Diego Negri and Enrico Voltolini held off a charge from Poland’s Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Dominik Zycki to take the bronze. Beijing Olympic Champions, Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson finished the medal race in second, but stayed in fifth place.
The penultimate race of the day was the RS:X Men - Spain’s Ivan Pastor jumped the gun, but it had no effect on the race as he started the day in tenth place. The medal battle belonged to Nick Dempsey (GBR) and Jp Tobin (NZL) – the pair fought each other all the way round the course, eventually leaving all but Nimrod Mashiah (ISR) in their wake. The points were so close it was a simple matter of winner takes all – and it was Dempsey who crossed the line just ahead of Tobin to take home gold. The Kiwi had to settle for silver, and Dorian van Rijsselberge secured bronze from the charging Israeli with a fourth place.
No one was expecting the Finn medal race – the last of the day - to be an anti-climax. And no one was disappointed. Only one man, Giles Scott (GBR) could take the gold medal from triple Olympic Champion, Ben Ainslie - who also happens to be the reigning World Match Racing Champion. There was always going to be fireworks and they started early, with the pair battling way behind the line as the others jostled to start. Ainslie came out in front and kept his foot on his younger rival’s throat all the way up the first leg, the pair still trailing the fleet, which was all that Ainslie really required with a 16 point overall lead. But then the unexpected happened... Scott blasted past Ainslie on the run.
The Olympic legend reversed the tables on the next windward leg to lead again at the final turning mark, only for Scott to do the same thing on the final run - despite some aggressive defending from Ainslie. But that one place was vital to Scott, who needed ninth to secure his silver medal from Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic (CRO) by a single point. A tremendous physical display of no-limits pumping saw Scott safely home for silver, with Kljakovic Gaspic taking bronze from medal race winner, and reigning World Champion, Ed Wright (GBR).
The final medal race had been everything that spectators had hoped for, and as the athletes sailed home and the medal tallies were counted, any locals that had ever doubted Skandia Team GBR’s strength on their home turf could relax. The nine medal total at the end of this regatta brings home the strength in depth of the performance, particularly when you note that those nine medals didn’t include anything from three classes in which the team medalled in 2008 in Beijing – the Star, RS:X Women and 470 Men.
Quotes of the Day
Tom Slingsby (AUS) - Laser
Winner
I feel good. It was a pretty tricky race, there were two people who could catch me but luckily I got a good start and, yeah, I just defended from there.
My strategy for this race did not change much, but you have always got to watch your closest competitors. But you have to make sure you don’t get too involved in what they are doing, you’ve got to sail your own race and today I did that. Whenever they caught up a bit, I went and protected my own spot and then just sailed my own race when they fell back a bit.
There was no point in the race when I thought I would not make it as I was lucky and got the first shift - a nice 15-20 metre jump straight off the bat - and this calmed my nerves. From there I could make good decisions and it went on from there.
The focus is always on Weymouth and winning here at every event that we do is definitely my biggest goal. The Test Event is the next one and I will try to do the same again as I did here, but now everyone is gunning for me and so I will have to try and defend my spot.
Pierre Leboucher (FRA) – 470
Winner
We have sailed together for 11 years and it is the second year running that we have won the Skandia Sail for Gold event so we are very happy. It has been a long week because of the weather conditions – partly because of the winds of 20 knots all day long – and we are very tired but that is normal! We are friends with lots of the sailors and it was a very open competition and everyone had the chance to sail well.
Next we go back to France to have a ‘slow’ time followed by time at our training camp, and then we hope to come back in a month’s time for the Olympic Test event, but we have to wait for news from the selectors.
Marit Bouwmeester (NED) - Radial
Winner
Today was pretty exciting in the medal race as I only had a small gap ahead of Evi (Van Acker from Belgium). It had been close racing all week and so I expected a really close race and recently she has been match racing which made it even more exciting, but I made it a victory.
My next event will be the Pre-Olympics Test Event in Weymouth and until then I will be training here, but I can easily travel back and forth to home. Most of the time, though, I will be training here.
Nathan Outtridge (AUS) - 49er
Winner
We were way back at the start and just tried to stay clear of the British guys because they had their selection coming into this race. We had good pace and discovered a couple of good shifts which took us into second place. So obviously happy with the wind. We have had really good pace all week, and we’ve been finding good lanes and good starts. It’s just all lots of little things, not one particular thing, that add up and not making too many mistakes; everyone out there is really, really good but at the end of the day - the guys making the least mistakes normally end up the winners.
There’re always nerves, but today was not so stressful as we had a gap over the second guys and all we had to do was sail conservatively and close to the French, but if we had been closer to them it would have been more nerve-wracking. It was nice today, though. We like the winds here in Weymouth. There are normally a lot of waves around Weymouth and conditions are pretty similar to Australia. So we like it here. We are flying home for two weeks and then will be back (in Europe) for the 49er European Championships in Finland.
Nick Dempsey (GBR) - RSX
Winner
It feels brilliant. We’ve had some pretty similar conditions most days so it’s been immensely tight. JP (Tobin) and Dorian (van Rijsselberge) have been sailing amazingly, so I couldn’t really put a foot wrong as they made it very difficult. But to finish off like that was amazing. That race is kind of what it’s been like all week, so it’s been tough but it’s a really good result.
It’s been a tough week but it could have been harder physically. The body’s in one piece, the mind’s just about in one piece. I feel good and I’m looking forward to the next six weeks’ training and to doing the same again.
Olivia Powrie (NZL) - 470
Winner
We are really happy because we have had a bit of time off and this is our first regatta back so to pick up the win is great. The first time we topped the leaderboard was on the final day before the medal racing, so we seem to have timed it all pretty well really.
We had a bit of a plan going into today but there are always a few nerves going into it, because you never know how it is going to go. But it is great to know that we can win here and with the Pre-Olympics back here in a few weeks’ time it is great to get some time in here ahead of that.
Marina Alabau (ESP) – RS:X Women
Winner
The conditions were perfect today, we had really nice wind and sun so it was just perfect. I think today was about 15 knots and I feel really confident with these conditions so it was good. This was the first selection event for the Olympics and also the selection for the Pre-Olympics so that here in Weymouth and Portland is my next big event. I’m really happy to have won a few points in front of Blanca (Machon). I love Weymouth, I won the World Championships here two years ago so this was my second event I won here in Weymouth. I feel very confident - the wind is really nice.
Anna Tunicliffe (USA) – Match Racing
Winner
In the first match we had a really good start, I just led her (Lucy Macgregor) off the line, we were able to extend our lead up the first beat, kind of just held on to that around the race course. We led off the line and we basically extended upwind. Then downwind the Brits were always going to close up the gap, and so they put some pressure on us at the leeward marks, but we stayed calm and we kept extending our lead.
I think whenever you sail against the Brits they’re such a great team you never really let your guard down, so it was close the whole time. We’re very, very excited, we put a lot of work in and had a great week here in Weymouth.
Ben Ainslie (GBR) – Finn
Winner
We’ve got huge quality in the Finn fleet here, especially in the British team with Giles (Scott) and Ed Wright in particular sailing very well. It’s been a really tough week physically with strong winds so I’m really pleased to have come out on top. It was hard work, I won’t hide from that fact. It was one of the toughest events I think I’ve ever done physically.
Sometimes that’s the way it goes (re. the match race in the final). Giles was the only one who could beat me and in terms of our Pre-Olympic selection trials. I sealed the regatta win and it worked out OK. It’s always quite tense with those match races, it’s never easy and Giles sailed very well and put up a good fight. It’s a tough situation that we only have one spot per class.
Robert Scheidt (BRA) – Star
Winner
What it really shows is that you are on the right track, getting things right and doing the right preparation to get to your goal. It gives you a lot of confidence to win.
