Recently concluded in the French resort of St. Tropez, the 6 metre world championship was won by the Swedish Boat Notorious, owned by Carl-Gustaf PIEHL and built in 1987.
Over the seven race series they notched up an impressively consistent series, only once dropping out of the top five and winning only one race, but scoring two seconds in the 20 boat modern fleet. Second place, a single point behind the leaders was Courage VII, owned by Dietrich GRUENAU /Alba BATZILL (GER), who actually won more races, but fell behind in the final part of the regatta.
Third in the modern fleet, on 24 points in St. Tropez, was another Swedish boat, Delphina, owned and raced by Hol John Michael LARSSON.
In the classic series, racing was dominated by Toy from Finland, winning four of the seven races in the division, they scored a second and a fourth to win the trophy fairly easily.
