Britain has just two No.1 ranked competitors: John Gimson and Anna Burnet in the Nacra 17, and Emma Wilson in the women’s IQ Foil.
Recent victories at iQFoiL Worlds and on going at the Long Beach Olympic Sailing Grand Slam event should improve things.
New at a No.1 Ranking is Pavlos Contides CYP in the men’s ILCA7, and Chiara Benini Floriani ITA in the women’s ILCA6.
