Sari Multala from Finland wins the World Laser Radial Women Championship with a race to spare.
The conditions have been similar throughout the regatta and today was no exception. It has been tough but exhilarating sailing conditions with 15 to 18 knot NNE winds, choppy seas and a swell that increases during the day.
Sari kept a calm head and worked her way from third at the first mark into first place to win race 11 and the championship. She impressed with her skill on reaches and downwind legs to secure five wins and nine top ten placings over the six days of racing. She is indeed a worthy champion.
