![]() ![]() Event summary: Swiss legend Karin Jaggi (F2 / North) showed no mercy, winning an incredible 9 out of 10 races in the womens event. Sarah Hebert (Starboard / Naish) stole second place from Ayako Suzuki (Starboard / Gaastra) who claimed third position. In detail: Day 3: The sudden arrival of 20 knots of wind this afternoon brought smiles to the faces of competitors today after glassy water and a weak forecast kept them idle this morning. First on the agenda was the completion of the race 3 final. Karin Jaggi keeps the event lead in the womens competition despite a disqualification hiccup that handed Sarah Hebert second place. Ayuko Suzuki also went over early but keeps third position overnight. . Day2: In the ladies fleet Karin Jaggi showed much improved starting skill from yesterday, and ruthlessly used this advantage to protect her lead. In Womens Race 3 she put considerable distance between herself and Sarah Hebert, and Ayuko Suzuki who had a fantastic struggle for the runners-up slot. On this occasion Hebert succeeded after accelerating away from Suzuki on the 4th leg to score second as Ayuko settled for third. In race 4 Jaggi once more sped off the line and put a considerable margin between herself and the rest of the fleet. This time however Ayuko Suzuki put the hammer down and kept Hebert at bay to claim second over Armenias sole representative. (text and photo: PWA) posted by editors at 5/11/2007 06:19:00 PM |
