[source: ISAF] Australia holds on to its three world #1 spots (Men’s 470, Laser and Tornado) in the latest release of the ISAF World Sailing Rankings.
Men's One Person Dinghy – Laser
Tom SLINGSBY (AUS) remains well ahead in the latest Laser Rankings after successfully defending his title at the recent Laser Worlds in Terrigal. Paul GOODISON (GBR) stays put in the #2 position, with Andrew MURDOCH (NZL) moving up one place to #3, although neither skipper to mount as sustained challenge to SLINGSBY on his home waters.
Men's Two Person Dinghy – 470
Nathan WILMOT and Malcolm PAGE (AUS) remain top of the Men’s 470 Rankings, their sixth consecutive Ranking release in the world #1 spot. Just behind them the world top three is also unchanged, with Nicolas CHARBONNIER and Olivier BAUSSET (FRA) at #2 Gideon KLIGER and Udi GAL (ISR) at #3.
Multihull – Tornado
Newly crowned World Champions Darren BUNDOCK and Glenn ASHBY (AUS) stay top of the Tornado Rankings after a sparkling run of form down under which culminated in World Championship victory in last week. The Australian duo have simple been unbeatable since the start of the year, with their World Championship win their fifth consecutive victory at ISAF Graded events.
For BUNDOCK, victory in New Zealand gave him a sixth World Championship title and a second with ASHBY alongside him. After a poor first day at the Worlds in Takapuna, they fought back strongly to top the leaderboard by the time the final day of racing was abandoned because of heavy winds and rain.
Skiff - 49er
2008 World Champions Nathan OUTTERIDGE and Ben AUSTIN (AUS) are currently in 5th position and are reigning in the top 3.
