Taylor Canfield (ISV) and Camilla Ulrikkeholm (DEN) will start 2015 as World #1 in the Open and Women’s ISAF Match Race Rankings following exceptional performances throughout 2014.

Women’s

Camilla Ulrikkeholm (DEN) jostled with Anna Kjellberg (SWE) and Stephanie Roble (USA) throughout the 2014 Women’s International Match Race Series. Ulrikkeholm took the title and this is reflected in the Women’s ISAF Match Race Rankings as the Dane holds firm followed the Swedish and American racers.

Two ISAF Grade 3 regattas in the current period, the US Women’s Match Race Championship in Oyster Bay, USA and the Championnat de France Promotion de MR Feminin in Portrieux, France, ensures there’s some movement below the top competitors heading into 2015.

Anne Claire Le Berre (FRA) picked up the title and maximum points in Portrieux and as a result climbs up one spot to World #5. Pauline Courtois (FRA) lost out to Le Berre but walked away with a good haul of points to ensure significant movement up the Women’s Rankings. Courtois leaps up from World #22 to World #10, a personal best for the French competitor.

Sophie Riot (FRA) rounded off the Portrieux podium and is one of the biggest movers of the month, climbing from World #114 to World #46, another personal best.

Roble won the US title in Oyster Bay which solidified her spot at World #3. Nicole Breault (USA) came through in second and is at World #19. Katie Maxim (USA) took home bronze and remains at World #23.
