Francisco Renna dominates

Francisco Renna of Argentina is the 2014 World Champion. His spectacular score line included four race wins giving him a final 17 point cushion over his nearest competitor. The final three races of the series were sailed on Thursday to complete the series at nine races.

Jean Paul de Trazegenies of Peru sailed a great final three races to move into second place. Conner Blouin of the United States was close behind in third.

In all seventy two competitors from ten countries participated in the championship. The provision of new Sunfish sailboats chartered to them by Triton Yacht Sales made for very strong, competitive racing.

The 2014 Sunfish World Championship was organized by the International Sunfish Class Association. This year's championship was held at Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer. The residential camp venue offered a unique opportunity for sailors, their families, coaches and support crew to stay on site.

The 2015 Sunfish Youth World and World Championship will be held in Parracas, Peru next October.
