Jeju Laser Masters Worlds at Jeju Island, Korea - Overall

by Laser Class Association 30 Sep 2006 16:56 BST

Wind at last!

An early start at the Jeju Laser World Masters Championships in Jeju, Korea rewarded both race committee and competitors with a sparkling last day's sailing in 16 to 18 knot winds and great surfing waves. On arrival at the beach at 0800 the prospect for racing looked grim. However race committee wind spotter boats were sent afloat and within an hour a building easterly wind was seen 2.5 miles offshore. As the fleet were sent afloat none of them expected to get 3 races completed with an hour to spare before the close of racing time limit.

Apprentice (35 to 44 years) Brett Beyer AUS continued his impressive run of results with a first and a second place to take the overall Standard rig prize with a race to spare from Orlando Gledhill GBR.

In the Radial rig fleet Steve Cockerill GBR, Mark Page NZL and Steve Adams AUS had close racing in the first two races. In both races Cockerill had to fight his way through to take the winning gun and the overall prize before taking his foot of the accelerator to finish second to Page in the last race. Top lady master, Christine Bridge AUS gave then men a run for their money with a solid 5,4,4 score to finish fifth overall one place ahead of great grand master (over 65) Peter Seidenberg from USA.

With a mixture of all ages in the top 7 places the Laser Radial was easily the most interesting fleet to watch and sail in and was also the most popular.
