Zarif only counts three regattas in his point's total and alongside his Finn Gold Cup success he counts a third at ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami and a 36th at ISAF Sailing World Cup Palma.

Caleb Paine (USA) keeps his spot at World #1 despite finishing 23rd at the Finn Gold Cup. Andrew Mills (GBR) held an early lead in Tallinn but slipped down to tenth but this was enough to see him move up one spot to World #2.

Ed Wright (GBR) moves back into the top 25 this month after taking a silver medal in Estonia. Wright has finished on the podium at the last four Finn Gold Cups and with more performances like that he will swiftly move back up the rankings.

Josh Junior continues to impress in the Finn and after a ninth in Estonia moves from World #27 to World #15.

Laser Radial

There is no change atop of the Laser Radial Rankings with Tatiana Drozdovskaya (BLR) remaining at World #1 followed by Chloe Martin (GBR) and Canada's Isabella Bertold.

Bertold's compatriot Claire Merry took gold at the 100-point Cork OCR in Kingston, Canada in August to advance back up the rankings. Merry makes the climb up to World #61 from World #109 and counts three events in her rankings points' total. Her best ranking of World #34 came in February 2012.

Brenda Bowskill (CAN) finished as runner up for the third time in as many years in Kingston and solidifies her spot at World #16.

Taking the honours at the 50-point Serbia Europa Cup in Donji Milanovac, Serbia was Maja Knezevic. The victory promotes the Serbian from World #279 to World #163.

Laser

David Wright (CAN) won gold at the 100-point Cork OCR and counting six regattas in his 659 point total he moves from World #29 to World #18.

Trinidad and Tobago's Andrew Lewis finished seventh in Kingston but the result promotes him up to a personal best of World #28 from World #52. Finishing ahead of Lewis by one place in Cork was Cy Thompson (ISV) but the U.S. Virgin Islands sailor trails him in the rankings sitting at World #152 having moved up from World #219.

Making a huge leap up the rankings from World #556 to #199 is Serbian sailor Dany Stanisic. Top honours at the Serbia Europa Cup in Donji Milanovac ensured a full 50-points for Stanisic in his 123 point total.
