The fifth of seven ISAF Sailing World Cup Regattas will begin in Medemblik,
the Netherlands on 24 May and will run until 29 May.
The 2010-2011 ISAF Sailing World Cup has seen some of the world’s
best fleet racing sailors, match racing sailors and paralympic sailors
compete as they prepare for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition which will
be held in Weymouth, England.
And the Star class is no exception featuring another field full of Olympic
medallists and world champions.
In the Women’s RS:X there are 42 sailors registered to compete with
Australia’s three time Olympian Jessica Crisp the highest placed
sailor in the Standings set to attend. Crisp is eleventh just two points
ahead of Patricia Freitas in twelfth and Flavia Tartaglini (ITA),
the bronze medallist in Medemblik in 2009 at 13. All three will be set to
take their opportunity to claim a medal and move up the Standings.
