Wins For COSTER And BASSADONE
470 North American Championships 2007
Miami, Florida, USA
Sven and Kalle COSTER (NED) won a narrow victory over former World Champions Nathan WILMOT and Malcolm PAGE (AUS) after a tightly contested series at the ISAF Grade C1 470 North American Championships. World #1 crew Christina BASSADONE and Saskia CLARK (GBR) scored victory in the women's fleet.
The two North American titles went to Mikee ANDERSON-MITTERLING and Dave HUGHES (USA) and Amanda CLARK and Sarah MERGENTHALER (USA) respectively.
The series began in conditions that bode well for the forthcoming ISAF Grade 1 Rolex Miami OCR, with three perfect days' of racing on Biscayne Bay. Sunny skies and a brisk breeze ranging from 10-15 knots set the scene before squalls came through and took the wind on the scheduled final day of racing on Monday.
World Champions Struggle
The Sven COSTER and his brother Kalle got their year off to a perfect start with a one point victory over WILMOT and PAGE, whilst another Australia team, Mathew BELCHER and Nick BEHRENS (AUS) took third place. ANDERSON-MITTERLING and HUGHES were comfortably the best placed of the North American teams in the 27 strong fleet, whilst World Champions Nic ASHER and Eliot WILLIS (GBR) came in a disappointing 15th, ten places behind team mates Nick ROGERS and Joe GLANFIELD (GBR).
In the women's fleet, BASSADONE and CLARK scored three bullets on the way to a three point win over long-time rivals and last year's winners Ingrid PETITJEAN and Nadege DOUROUX (FRA). CLARK and MERGENTHALER came in third overall in the 18 boat fleet, winning the tiebreaker for the final podium spot ahead of double World Champions Marcelien DE KONING and Lobke BERKHOUT (NED).
The 470 North American Championships are taking place as part of the Winter Circuit surrounding the ISAF Grade 1 Rolex Miami OCR, from 21-27 January.
