Shahar Zubari claims RS:X Men fleet title of 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta – Sailing News
Israeli RS:X sailor, Shahar Zubari performed brilliantly throughout the 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta and was able to claim the RS:X Men fleet title compiling 21 points after taking part in 11 races, including a discard race and a medal race.
The start of the 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta for the Israeli sailor was tremendous as he began his campaign with two outstanding bullets in the first two beats and a super second finish to get a handsome lead from the beginning of the regatta proceedings.
However, the second day of the event was not according to his hopes as he clinched a sixth finish in the fifth race which brought him down in the standings. Zubari bounced back in the next two races and hit two more bullets to get back in business and reclaim
his lead because his sixth finish was discarded from the overall scores.
A fourth podium place in the next race did not affect his position and he cruised into the RS:X Men class victory clinching two more bullets and a medal race triumph. With this win, the Israeli had also won the 2012 London Olympic Games ticket.
