Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie (NZL) won their third ISAF Sailing World Cup regatta of the 2013-2014 series after another controlling display in Hyères.
The Kiwi girls had a tough day on the water as Powrie explained,
"It was a little bit stressful. We made it hard for ourselves. We thought we may have been over at the start so we came back and re-started.
"We managed to make our way back through the fleet and we still managed to come away with an overall win but still stressful.”
The Kiwis finished the Medal Race in fourth which was enough to defend their overnight lead.
Aleh and Powrie sailed in Qingdao, Mallorca and Hyères taking gold at all. On the victory Powrie added,
"I’m very relieved. It’s really nice to win again. We put together a relatively good series which was nice. We didn’t have that many different conditions this week. It was a bit of a grind by the end of it.”
Sophie Weguelin and Eilidh McIntyre, who won ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami, and Anne Haeger and Briana Provancha (USA) fought hard for silver and bronze. The Britons came through in second which gave them the silver whilst an American fifth saw them finish the week in third.
