Champions Crowned for the 2010 ISAF Sailing World Cup


Six Women’s Match Racing events were sailed at six different venues across the globe culminating in the final event at the site of the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition in Weymouth, Great Britain. The competition was intense at all of the events which was evident by the fact that all six events were won by different teams from six different countries. This goes very far in showing the depth in the field of the newest Olympic sailing event.

Overall 2010 ISAF Sailing World Cup Series Results:
1 - Claire Leroy, Marie Riou, Elodie Bertrand (FRA)
2 - Anna Tunnicliffe, Molly Vandemoer, Debbie Capozzi (USA)
3 - Lucy Macgregor, Annie Lush, Kate Macgregor (GBR)

During the penultimate day of the Skandia Sail For Gold Regatta, Claire Leroy was asked how it felt to win the ISAF Sailing World Cup: "To win the World Cup is a big surprise for us! We were so happy because as we passed the line our coach shouted that Anna (Tunnicliffe) didn’t win her race and we just couldn’t believe we had won the World Cup! We are really pleased, but we still want to win this event."
