Allison did it again!

Allison celebrates
In Tallinn, Estonia, Allison Shreeve has defended her world championship title for the third consecutive year. The 2005 and 2006 world champion put in her best performance yet, winning every race (11 in total) held during the week of 13th to 18th August, in very trying and varied conditions ranging from 10 to 27 knots.

22-year old Sarah Hebert once again kicked into gear reacing into second place in Estonia. After 11 races with shifty wind conditions and rough seas, Sarah showed off her talent by keeping it all together and managing to stay on Allison Shreeves heels until the end of the competition. Sarah comments: "At 22 years I am very happy to be the Vice World Formula Champion!"
Shreeve had travelled to Estonia after switching from the RS:X class due to a disappointing performance in her final qualifying event. Being ranked No.11 in the world in the Olympic class was not enough for Shreeve to gain Olympic selection, so the obvious choice was to return to Formula windsurfing, despite minimal preparation. "I only had two weeks to prepare for the World Championships, and was quite concerned having not been on a Formula board since the world titles last year in Korea".
