Second world title for Nick Craig

Ar Robert Deaves

The brilliant Australian sunshine returned for the final day of the Toshiba 2006 OK Dinghy World Championship in Belmont, Lake Macquarie but the wind was a bit late turning up. When it finally arrived two hours late, things started to get interesting. Jorgen Lindhardtsen (DEN) won the first race to bring him to within one point of Nick Craig (GBR) for the title. The final race showdown between Lindhardtsen and Craig didn't materialise as an uncharacteristic error from Lindhardtsen left him chasing the fleet.

The fleet went afloat at 10.00 for a scheduled 11.00 start, drifted around for an hour in no wind and came ashore again. At 13.00 out they went again and this race nine was started in about 10 knots. Lindhardtsen started at the pin and hit the left hand corner before leading into the first mark followed by Jon Fish (GBR), Roger Blasse (AUS) and Craig, who had had a bad started and bailed out to the right side of the course. Lindhardtsen led all the way to win the race. Craig pulled through Fish and Blasse on the final beat to secure second.

After a general recall, race ten got underway in similar conditions. Again Lindhardtsen started at the pin and headed left while Craig started at the committee boat and also headed left. At the top mark Craig had a narrow lead over Fish and Robert Deaves (GBR). Lindhardtsen had trouble finding the windward mark, overstood and rounded about 12th. The ever cool Craig led all the way to win the race and the championship with Greg Wilcox (NZL) moving up to second and Karl Purdie (NZL) to third. This was the first time since the race format was changed to 10 races that the final race had been sailed - and with 40 minutes to spare.

Lindhardtsen credited Craig saying, "Nick sailed fantastically this week. Early on I thought he was having problems with his speed but the last three days he has sailed exceptionally well." Craig also spoke of Lindhardtsen. "Jorgen is a legend. It's like racing against a 25 year old sometimes. He's so fit and focused and really hard to beat. I think what is really awesome is that he went for it 100 per cent every race, sailing extremely hard and was obviously here to win. I really hope he will be back next year in Poland, as I will be."

For the second year running the bronze medal goes this year to Greg Wilcox, who is also President of the OK Dinghy International Association. His second place in the last race was enough to pull ahead of team mate Karl Pudie who had started the day in third place.

Next year's OK World Championship will be sailed in the sunny Baltic resort of Leba in Poland.

Wow for en flot BIG-jolle fra Ebeltoft, den ser super prof ud. Vi glæder os til mere info fra Lars Bo om projektet. Tog det fx kun en weekend at samle jollen.

Ellers bliver man vel tvunget ud i et interview med idemanden Jan Pedersen eller Petersen.

Day four – Thursday 16th February

Craig takes the lead

In a day of two halves at the Toshiba 2006 OK Dinghy World Championship in Belmont, Australia, defending world champion Nick Craig (GBR) took over the lead with a 2nd place in race seven and consolidated his lead by leading race eight from start to finish. He goes into the final day with just a two point margin over Jorgen Lindhardtsen (DEN), who has a 10 point margin over third placed Karl Purdie (NZL).

After a 30 minute postponement, race seven started in a 5-6 knot northerly. The left side proved to be the way to go as everyone on the right side ran out of pressure. Mike Williams (AUS) led round the first mark after starting midline and going hard left before coming back in more pressure. He led all the way round the course to win the race. At the top mark, a number of new faces were to be seen. Following Williams was Peter Horne (AUS), Dave Hoogenboom (NZL), Richard Furneaux (AUS) and Bill Tyler (AUS).

Nick Craig (GBR) had taken the right side of the beat and rounded about 16th. He moved up to 10th by the leeward mark and gradually moved through the fleet until the final leeward mark when he rounded in third just behind Alistair Deaves (NZL). Deaves had started the committee boat end totally buried and had played the left in an attempt to recover. Finding the pressure and the shift he rounded the first mark about eighth and took a few more places downwind to move up to second.

The wind increased slightly for the final beat and able to stretch his legs, Craig reeled in Deaves to take second place. Craig said later, “He should have eaten more breakfast like I did!”

The wind was up to 10 to 15 knots for race eight. Both Craig and Jorgen Lindhardtsen (DEN) started near the pin end and while Craig opted to consolidate and take the first shift across the fleet, Lindhardtsen carried on left and made just one tack to the windward mark, where he arrived just behind Craig. Peter Horne continued his good form rounding in 3rd. Craig was clearly in his element and stretched away to win his first race of the event. Behind him, Andre Blasse (AUS) had two great reaches to move up to second, but lost them on the final beat when he overstood the finish in a large left hand shift. Lindhardtsen played the shifts better to move to second while Russell Wood (NZL) moved up to third.

So the final day comes down to a showdown between Craig and Lindhardtsen, both of whom have the greatest respect for each other although a generation apart. Craig said with tongue firmly in cheek, “Obviously tomorrow I will be keeping an eye on Jorgen, but there are several others still in the game. However Jorgen is undoubtedly the main danger and is very canny in spite of his lack of experience!”

Godt Gået af Lindhardtsen og Petersen "down Under" ....

Desuden kørte jeg over broen idag (onsdag) og der er næsten isfrit for enden af molen, og vi har før sat jollerne i vandet der...så kom bare igang gutter !

Useriøst!
Tal for dig selv - Troels!

Isen slipper lidt i valby-havet, men det gør den ikke i hvidovre havn, konstaterede havemanden og jeg i går. Lad os fremover vintertræne i Lynetten Havn, den er isfri. Det andet er jo lidt useriøst
