ISAF Match Race Rankings - 12 November 2014

There’s no change atop of the ISAF Match Race Rankings with Taylor Canfield (ISV) and Camilla Ulrikkeholm (DEN) holding firm in the Open and Women’s rankings.

Women’s Ranking

Camilla Ulrikkeholm (DEN) counts eight exceptional regatta scores to her points total and remains firmly in charge atop of the ISAF Women’s Match Race Rankings.

Despite missing the Busan Women’s Match Race 2014 in Korea the Dane is more than 500 points ahead of World #2 Anna Kjellberg (SWE). In all eight of the regattas she counts to her point’s total Ulrikkeholm has finished on the podium at each one with three gold medals to her name.

Trine Palludan (DEN) was stand-in skipper for Team Ulrikkeholm at the Busan Women’s Match Race and with a fourth place finish ensured that Team Ulrikkeholm claimed the Women’s International Match Race Series title. However, as skipper the ISAF Women’s Match Race Rankings points were awarded to Palludan. As a result Palludan advances up to World #26 from World #73.

Great Britain’s Lucy Macgregor was the triumphant skipper at the 2014 Busan Women’s Match Race as she defeated Australia’s Katie Spithill in a tense final. In the first to three final it went down to a deciding race with the scores locked at two apiece. Former World #1 Macgregor held her nerve and defeated Spithill to claim the Busan title for the second time after winning in 2009.

Having picked up maximum points Macgregor advances up to World #8 from World #12 in the Women’s Rankings. Runner-up Spithill climbs from World #23 to World #11.

There is no change from World #1 to World #7 as the skippers prepare for the 2015 edition of the Women’s International Match Race Series (WIM Series - www.wimseries.com).
