(05-04-2007) - (May 2, 2007) The first of the year’s ISAF Grade 1 European regattas brought a record number of entries and well over 1,000 sailors to Hyères, France. After a disappointing performance in Palma, the Brits came back with a bang, claiming two gold medals a result, which consolidates their position as top nation in the latest release of the ISAF World Sailing Rankings. Next in line for countries with members in the top 3 are Germany in second, and Australia in third. It is good to note that the rankings are a complicated formula where one’s best scores are calculated over a two-year span. Only selected events can count toward the ranking, and of those events, they are weighted based on how recent they are, how important they are perceived to be, and how difficult they actually were (based on how many top-ranked entrants attended).
North Americans in the top 10:
3. Anna Tunnicliffe (USA), Laser Radial
5. Sally Barkow/Carrie Howe/Debbie Capozzi (USA), Yngling
5. George Szabo/Andrew Scott (USA), Star
8. John Dane/Austin Sperry (USA), Star
9. Jenniffer Provan/Carol Luttmer (CAN), 470 Women
9. Bernard Luttmer (CAN), Finn
9. Chris Cook (CAN), Laser
