Lanzarote Race 7 - 9, Daida wins  Race 7: At 12.45 there was enough wind to give racing a try. First up were the men. Heats one and two of Race 7 were cancelled as gusty winds made it impossible to complete the course fairly. The next possible start was set at 13.15 and super light wind and sweltering temperatures meant the competitors waited on half hour standby until around 16.00 when the trades kicked in and competition started. The ladies start involved Iballa Moreno leading before Karin Jaggi picked her off by mark one. Behind there was carnage as the rest of the women were tangled up on jump one. Another smooth forward from Jaggi got her underway and ahead of the pack and into what looked like a certain victory. The cut and thrust world of Super-X racing can be ultra harsh, as Jaggi found out, crashing badly on the third and last jump. Iballa overtook and won the race with Daida Moreno capitalizing to get second and Astrid Muldoon (F-002 JP /NeilPryde) third. Race 8: There was a general recall on starting the womens eighth race. At the second attempt Daida Moreno, with an event lead to protect, ensured she made a no risk clean air start well away from the pack. Junko Nagoshi (J-11 F2 /Simmer) led to mark one as Karin Jaggi crashed the first jump. Daida then took Nagoshi during the first duck gybe and extended her lead on the second reach. Jaggi had progressed no further than 4th by reaching the third mark, and so it finished Daida Moreno first, Nagoshi second and Astrid Muldoon (F-002 JP/NeilPryde) third. Race 9: Astrid Muldoon sped off the start line first pursued by Karin Jaggi, but Iballa Moreno crashed on Jump one with Daida Moreno trailing. Muldoon did not make her forward loop allowing Jaggi the lead towards the second mark. Jaggi kept in front around the third duck gybe ahead of Muldoon, and a fast approaching Daida Moreno. Jaggi, stayed cool, jumping the final obstacle cleanly and won followed by Muldoon for a well-deserved second and Daida Moreno settling for third position. So finally Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/North Sails) could hold her lead and both Daida Moreno and Antoine Albeau take the Super-X World Titles for the first times in their career histories after a week of exceptional racing here in Costa Teguise. posted by editors at 7/05/2006 12:18:00 AM |
