2009 29er World Champions - Steve Thomas (AUS) and Blair Tuke (NZ)

Riva del Garda...Saturday, July 25, 2009...last day of the 29er World Championship. Warning signal this morning at 8:30 AM. Beautiful day; unusual even. Rivan perfection at its best. Red borders on the edges of the sails. Greens of the Gardesian landscape’s lush vegetation. Blues of Lake Garda’s waters, sometimes deep and complex enough to be oceanlike. A Pelèr wind blowing initially around 8 meters-per-second. (15 knots) ‘De rigeur’ the Regatta Committee: well-organized and ready to manage these important final races.
Gold Group’s regatta course: the fleet lines up at the starting line, near the Judge-and-Jury Boat. Countdown: 5 – 4 – 1 – 0. They’re off! It’s 8:47 AM. The fleet leaves the starting gate. No OCS crews here. But the top-ranking crew is missing! Steven Thomas and Blair Tuke, (AUS 1) (scores 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, (dnf), (dnf)) playing their winning hand, pull a strategic no-show.
Superstars aside, the 29er World Championship now turns its attention to the battle for the silver and bronze medals.
Now this is indeed news: no less than a family affair. And at very talented family at that. Silver for Lauren Jeffries and Nathan Outteridge (AUS 1727) (Qualifying Series scores: 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, (dnf)(dnf)) (Final Series scores: 5, 1, 9, 6, 8, 2, 3, (14), (14), 5, 4).

Bronze for Haylee Outteridge and Iain Jensen (AUS 34) (2, 2, 6, 1, (21), (12), 10, 1, 8, 10, 5).
Meanwhile, Italians Riccardo Camin and Lorenzo Franceschini, sailing for Fraglia Vela Riva’s team, manage to hang with that elusive international protagonist’s club. They end up with a respectable eight-position final rank (scores 18, 11, (23), (24), 4, 6, 10, 16, 7, 12).

Here are the podiums from the other fleets:

Silver: First: Paris Henken and Chris Rast (USA 1703); Second: Adam Larvin and Ed Chapman (GBR 1322); Third: Phil Walker and John Mather (GBR 703).

Bronze: First: Sinen Kurtbay and Ville Bergman (FIN 1320); Second: Jason Sivyer and Charlie Esse (GBR 1667); Third: Stefan Gieser and Felix Meggendorfer (GER 1059).

Emerald: First: Casey McDermott and Chantelle Boudreau (CAN 663); Second: Joan and Nigel Furness (GBR 311); Third: Alexandre Bueger and Oliver Sandkuehler (UAE 902).
