The 2008 Pegasus Airlines Alaçati PWA World Cup – Day Five
In the women’s ninth race, premature starts killed the hopes of Çagla Kubat (Starboard, North) and Morane Demont (Starboard, Severne), leaving Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou, The Loft) free to take her familiar spot at the front of the fleet, and bag her seventh race win. Unsurprisingly, Karin Jaggi (F2, North) occupied the number two spot, a testament to her outstanding consistency while Verena Fauster (F2, Gaastra) was next over the line, reinforcing her overall third position.
In the tenth women’s race, Ghibaudo posted a conservative fourth place finish, while rival Jaggi took the opportunity to claim the race win, her third of the event so far. Keeping the Turkish flag flying high, local Lena Erdil (The Loft) crossed the line in second to claim her best result of the event so far, with fellow compatriot, Kubat taking third.
With the final day of competition looming, it’s going to come down to the wire as Dunkerbeck and Albeau battle it out for the event lead on the decisive final day of competition. In the women’s fleet, Ghibaudo has done enough to take the event title as hers, likewise Jaggi in second, leaving the battle for third place open for the chasing pack.
