- Top World Sailing Ranked and leading GBR sailors as of 4 May 2022
With two major Olympic Classes regattas now completed – Palma and Hyeres – the World Sailing Rankings are begining to get some credibility, although some partnerships in the two-handed classes are still changing.
For the British John Gimson and Anna Burnet in the Nacra 17 remain the only competitors with a top ranking in their class.
Next best ranked are: Conner Bainbridge 3rd in the men’s Kite, Eleanor Aldridge 4th in the women’s Kite, Islay Watson 4th in the women’s IQ Foil, Matt Barton 5th in the men’s IQ Foil, Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre 7th in the Mixed 470, and Hannah Snellgrove 9th in the women’s ILCA6.
The 49er and 49erFX are the weakest ranked events for the British team members.
With Tokyo 49er gold medalist Dylan Fletcher suffering boat problems at Palma and then having to miss Hyeres, this is obviously not helping him to get in any decent high-level racing with his new crew, Rhos Hawes.
While in the women’s FX, the new combination of Freya Black and Olympian Saskia Tidey are struggling to find their form. A disqualification from the medal race in Palma and then failing to even make the gold fleet in Hyeres has put them outside the top 100 ranking.
Next up for the Olympic sailors are the iQFOiL Europeans in Italy, the ILCA 7 Worlds in Mexico and Medemblik will host the Olympic classes at the end of the month (May 31 – June 5) in a Hempel World Cup event.
