Victory to Santi Mas/Jaime Menescal (ESP)

05
Jul 2012

The top three teams were exceptionally close throughout with Santi Mas/Jaime Menescal (ESP), Craig Dibb/Charlie Cox (GBR) and Guillaume Pirouelle/Valentin Sipan (FRA) fighting for glory. All in with a chance at regatta victory on the final day, the action around the race track was not as close as anticipated.

ALL EVENT INFORMATION
59 teams contested the 420 event at the 2012 Nieuwpoort Regatta in Belgium

A race win to Mas/Menescal placed them where they wanted to be, but only if the British and French were further down the pack, which is exactly how it turned out. Dibb/Cox posted a 17th, with Pirouelle/Sipan a 13th – more than enough to give Mas/Menescal overall victory. Dibb/Cox claimed second with Piriouelle/Sipan in third.

A great series was put together by Annabel Vose/Marina Cano (GBR) to finish as the top girls’ team in fourth overall. A major disappointment for Vose’s original crew Kirstie Urwin who was hit by a boat in race 2 and chose not to sail for the rest of the regatta, so as to ensure she would be fighting fit for the Four Star Pizza ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship.

Taking place from 30 June-4 July, the Nieuwpoort Regatta attracted an impressive turnout of fifty-nine 420 teams from 7 nations. Next year's Nieuwpoort Regatta will take place from 29 June-3 July 2013.
