Rutger van Schaardenburg claims Laser class title of 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta – Sailing News
Final day of the 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta brought some outstanding sailing competitions on the Medemblik waters where sailors from around the world showed their skills and had one of the most stunning sailing experiences.
The weather conditions over the Medemblik racing area were outstanding from the start of the regatta. However, the sailors did have some trouble with the winds in the middle of the regatta but still they managed to complete the scheduled races on time to
formulate the final results.
With some classy sailing display on the Medemblik racing area, Rutger van Schaardenburg hit the top spot in the Laser class fleet from the beginning and was able to claim the title with 38 points. The Dutch sailor participated in 11 races to compile his
final points. One discarded race and a medal race are also included in the final results.
Nederland’s Schaardenburg started his regatta campaign brilliantly with two bullets in the first two races. He finished on 10th place in the third race but this lower finish did not trouble his overall position in the standings.
However, a couple of more bullets in the fourth day proceedings were enough to ensure his grip on the overall Laser fleet and claim the class title.
