YOUNG FRENCH SHOW THEIR SENIORS THE WAY
27 Oct 2022
HIGHLIGHTS
• Stable onshore breeze of 10 to 14 knots made the tiny details important on an inner-loop race course
• Race wins for Italy and Japan • Best team of the day are 21-year-olds from France
• Germany’s Wanser & Autenrieth keep the yellow bibs again
A change of wind direction and race course format produced a change of fortunes on day four of the 470 World Championship in Sdot Yam, Israel. Race victories went to two teams that HAVE been well outside of the top 10 but who seized their opportunity when it came along.
WHOSE TURN WILL IT BE TODAY?
27 Oct 2022We’re into day four of the 470 World Championship in Sdot Yam, Israel, and two more gold fleet races on the schedule.
BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES BUT FRANCE WINS THE DAY
26 Oct 2022HIGHLIGHTS
- Offshore breeze between 10 to 14 knots, with a left-hand trend
- Start of gold fleet racing and two different GBR boats win today’s races
- New superstar team Lecointre & Mion win the day with two 2nds
- Germany’s Wanser & Autenrieth hold on to the yellow bibs
- Top 10 sees an even split of female/ male and male/ female combinations
Day three of the 470 World Championship in Sdot Yam, Israel, marked the start of gold fleet competition. As a national effort, two different teams from Great Britain each won a race but for individual effort the best day went to Camille Lecointre & Jérémie Mion (FRA) who finished behind the Brits but scored a remarkable two second places.
DAY 3 MORNING UPDATE: WHEN THE BOOM HITS YOUR NOSE, TACK!
26 Oct 2022It’s the first day of gold fleet racing and the wind is blowing nicely, but offshore. Which means it’s going to shifty and wacky on the race course. Maybe even more so than yesterday.
DEUTSCHLAND DOMINATES DESPITE A DIFFICULT DAY
25 Oct 2022HIGHLIGHTS
- Very shifty breeze between 8 to 14 knots
- Diesch & Markfort (GER) win both their races
- Wanser & Autenrieth (GER) win a race and maintain the lead
- Some big names miss the cut for gold fleet on Wednesday
Germany enjoyed an exceptional end to qualifying after a dominant performance on day two of 470 World Championship in Sdot Yam, Israel. With the wind shifting unpredictably, few teams were able to string together a consistent performance, but somehow two teams from Germany bucked the trend.
DAY 2 MORNING UPDATE: RAIN AND THUNDER AS FLEET WAITS FOR WIND TO SETTLE
25 Oct 2022JAPAN THE MOST CONSISTENT BUT GERMANY TAKES EARLY LEAD
24 Oct 2022Three races in a building breeze sees Luise Wanser & Philipp Autenrieth (GER) leading at the end of day one at the 470 World Championship in Sdot Yam, Israel.

SWEDEN SECURE GOLD AFTER MATCH RACE WITH SPAIN
18 Sep 2022Anton Dahlberg & Lovisa Karlsson (SWE) had to fight hard for the gold medal but the Swedes came through to win the 470 European Championships in Çeşme, Turkey. Jordi Xammar & Nora Brugman (ESP) had their opportunities to seize gold during a tense medal race in 16 to 18 knot southerly breeze, but in the end they couldn’t quite get past the Swedes and had to settle for silver. Giacomo Ferrari & Bianca Caruso (ITA) bounced back from a disastrous start to climb up to fourth in the medal race and take the bronze medal.
SWEDEN V SPAIN SET FOR A MEDAL RACE SHOWDOWN
17 Sep 2022Anton Dahlberg & Lovisa Karlsson (SWE) delivered consistency yet again in Saturday’s two gold fleet races on day five of the 470 European Championships in Çeşme, Turkey. The Swedes will go into Sunday afternoon’s medal race knowing they can’t do worse than silver. The only team who can take gold away from them are their Spanish rivals,
SWEDES SNIFF THEIR WAY THROUGH THE SHIFTY STUFF
16 Sep 2022Anton Dahlberg & Lovisa Karlsson (SWE) ran away with the fourth day of competition at the 470 European Championships in Çeşme, Turkey. Somehow the Swedes made sense of the trickiest conditions yet seen on Ilica Bay, with a new southerly direction creating shifty offshore breezes that swing through 30 degrees or more. No one came close to emulating the 2,1 scoreline which now puts SWE 349 in the lead. As Karlsson said: “You had to be on top of your compass numbers today, knowing the limits of the shifts, and keep your eyes out for the next bit of pressure.”
LIGHT AIRS LAUNCH TWO SPANISH TEAMS BACK TO THE TOP
15 Sep 2022The Spanish and Japanese teams looked right at home in the softer breeze that ruled the third day of the 470 European Championships in Çeşme, Turkey. With the 5 to 9 knot breeze wafting the gold and silver fleets along at a much gentler pace than the previous breezy days, a different set of skills came into play on Thursday.
GERMANS MOVE AHEAD IN WIND AND WAVES
14 Sep 2022The wind was whistling through the rigging for the second day of the 470 European Championships in the holiday resort of Çeşme on the east coast of Turkey. With a similar wind strength and direction to day one, the fleet knew that the left-hand side of the course would be the place to be. That put good starting at a premium.
OLD SPANISH TEAMMATES HOLD TOP TWO PLACES
13 Sep 2022Day one of the 470 European Championships launched with a bang. The first day of qualifying was a big test as the strong northerly wind got stronger throughout the day.
With old teams from Tokyo 2020 forced to form new alliances in the new era of 470 Mixed competition, the men’s 470 Olympic bronze medallists from Spain - Xammar & Rodriguez - were competing on opposite sides of qualifying.
CLASH OF THE TEAMMATES ABOUT TO BEGIN IN TURKEY
12 Sep 2022Northerly winds of 16-18 knots delivered the perfect preview to competition on the practice day of the 470 European Championship in Çeşme, Turkey. Having convincingly won the Warm-Up Race regatta a couple of days earlier, Anton Dahlberg & Lovisa Karlsson (SWE) put on some older sails for today’s breezy and wavy outing.

GIACOMO FERRARI/GIULIO CALABRO (ITA) AND LUISE WANSER/HELENA WANSER (GER) THE 2019 470 WORLD CHAMPIONS !
07 Jul 2019If the organizer had the power to write a script for today’s final racing day, it would probably look a lot like what the weather conditions offered us on the Slovenian coast in the Piran bay in front of Portorož.
GIACOMO FERRARI/GIULIO CALABRO (ITA) SECURED GOLD IN 2019 470 JUNIOR WORLDS
06 Jul 2019So far, we were really lucky with the wind conditions in the Piran bay in front of Portorož on the Slovenian coast. We had it all - the light sea breeze, strong bora wind with big waves and a new wind direction today - the southerly. Something for everyone - as we could only hope for at the event of this level - the conditions giving all teams fair chances to show their best.
ANOTHER CHALLENGING DAY AT 470 JUNIOR WORLDS, LEADERS STRENGTHENED THEIR LEAD.
05 Jul 2019After yesterday’s exciting sailing in strong bora wind, lighter sea breeze of around eight knots filled the Piran bay today, with the wind dropping later in the afternoon. The race officer Bojan Gale decided for two more races for each of the groups - gold, silver and women.
FINAL SERIES COMMENCED IN STRONG WINDS ON DAY 3 OF 2019 JUNIOR WORLDS IN PORTOROZ
04 Jul 2019We wished for more wind and we got it! After the proper warm-up in the gentle sea breeze on the first two days of our Junior World Championship it was time for some action. The NE bora wind came as a refreshment, it cooled the air a bit, and provided great sailing conditions in steady 13-18 knots, in the outer loop gusting even up to 25 kts, with waves that offered great downwind surfing to the more experienced crews.
RACE DAY 2 SET TO BE ANOTHER LIGHT AND SHIFTY WIND DAY
03 Jul 2019Today’s second racing day began similar to yesterday’s. The start was initially scheduled for 1pm, but since the sea breeze was late again, the AP flag went down at around half past 12. The three fleets sailed to the racing course, positioned a bit deeper in the Piran bay than yesterday.
TECHNIQUE AND TACTICS IN LIGHT WINDS PREVAILED ON DAY 1 AT 470 JUNIOR WORLDS
02 Jul 2019The R.C. could hardly wish for better conditions for the opening day of the 470 Junior World Championship here in Portorož, Slovenia. The sailors finished three races in nice sea breeze of maximum around 11 knots and averaging around 6-8, with a wind dropping significantly in the last race.
PRACTICE RACE DAY AND OFFICIAL OPENING OF 470 JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
