Hungary's Farkas Litkey, Vezer Karoly and Csaba Weinhard were crowned the new Soling World Champions after a light air race on the last day of the championship, in which the match against Canada's Peter Hall, Paul Davis and William Hall paid off due to a black flag start in which both end up being BFD.

Sarah Steyaert and Julie Bossard sailed a stunning third day of qualification, winning both of today's heats and moving to the top of the women's leaderboard at the Seiko 49er & 49erFX World Championships in Marseille.

This September marks the 30th anniversary of the biggest windsurfing event on the calendar, as the finest wave, freestyle and slalom sailors on the planet prepare to flock to the famous shores of Westerland, Sylt, Germany, once again, from 27 September until 6 October in front of crowds in excess of 200,000 people.

For anyone aspiring to win the Seiko 49er & 49erFX World Championships in Marseille, day two was a critical hurdle. For the 97 men's teams from 28 countries, it was all about making the cut for the top 40.

ORACLE TEAM USA won the 34th America's Cup in a winner-take-all 19th race, defeating challenger Emirates Team New Zealand by 44 seconds in today's clincher. Led by 35-year-old skipper Jimmy Spithill, ORACLE TEAM USA won by the score of 9-8.

Taylor Canfield (ISV) remains at World #1 in the Open Rankings for the second successive release whilst Lucy Macgregor (GBR) continues to hold a strong advantage in the Women's Rankings.

It was a very light, tricky opening day to the 49er & 49erFX World Championships in Marseille, not the kind of day where anyone could have expected a particular team to dominate the racing.
