Ian WILLIAMS (GBR) holds on to the world #1 spot, keeping the on form Mathieu RICHARD (FRA) at bay. Although WILLIAMS could only place 11th and lost his World Championship lead at the latest stage of the World Match Racing Tour, his brilliant early season form keeps him safely in the top spot. However RICHARD has taken a big chunk out the gap between the top two, as the ISAF Nations Cup winner enjoyed a fantastic May. First of all he donned the Crimson Blazer after winning the ISAF Grade 1 Congressional Cup in Long Beach, before zipping back across the Atlantic to take second place at the ISAF Grade WC Match Race Germany and the overall lead in the World Championship Standings.
Claire LEROY's (FRA) reign as the women's world #1 match racer continues as she stands firm at the top of the Rankings for the 20th consecutive release. Since knocking Marie BJÖRLING (SWE) off the top spot on 4 May 2005, the 27 year old French skipper has recorded ten ISAF Graded event wins and 21 top-three finishes to maintain her world #1 Ranking. However, LEROY's dominance of the World Rankings has yet to be reflected in the ISAF Women's Match Racing World Championship, a statistic she will be looking to put right when the Worlds come to her home waters in France this August.
