SB3 Worlds Preview results
Posted on 16/05/2011 in General, Team Gill
Carveth the 2008 World champion expressed his skill to finish with a consistent 2-1-3-(5)-3 to head the talented Russian Rodion Luka 4-(20)-4-1-1 while Australian 49er class Olympian Nathan Outteridge 1-5-(13)-2-8 won the bronze on count back over fellow Australian and former Olympian Glenn Bourke 5-6-(9)-3-2. The top four were in a class of their own sailing the tricky wind system with the required skill to protect their point scores. However Geoff Carveth and his Race Team Gill crew needed to fill a top three place in the final race when Rodion Luka (Team Russia) scored his second race win in the final. They remained in the box seat as the provisional winner with their impressive best four to count score of 4-4-1-1 but Geoff Carveth sailed with a safe strategy to claim the series with a 2-1-3-3 score.
The Worlds are now underway and the Gill Race Team is out in full force with representation from Geoff, Craig Burlton and Sarah Allen. Good luck to you all from all at Gill HQ. Stay tuned for more updates as the Racing heats up.
