James Turner & Logan Dunning Beck are the NZL National Champions. Thomas Saunders & Chris Steele were 2nd, with a clean sweep of bullets on day 2. Ky Anas Ku Zamil & Mohamad Hafizzudin Mazelan (MAS) took third, while Khairunnnisa Mohd Afendy & Norashikin Mohamad Sayed (MAS) led the women. Erica Dawson & Vicky Francis won the NZL Women’s Championship. In the innovative, no spinny/trapeze fleet Julia Hamilton & Thomas Borrmann won.
Meanwhile, in the 470s, 2007 World Ladies’ 420 Champions Jo Aleh & Olivia Powrie were 2nd and Francisco Lardies & Finn Drummond, silver medallists at the 420 Garda were 3rd. And it looks as though Finn has been busy, fitting in an America’s Cup chase at Valencia according to Sail-World
