Delta Lloyd Regatta 2008 eindigt met ruige Medal Races
26/5/2008
Op zondag 25 mei 2008 kregen de overgebleven top tien zeilers tijdens de Medal Races van de Delta Lloyd Regatta te maken met veel wind en regen. Windkracht vijf tot zes en een flinke golfslag vormden de uitdaging van de slotdag in Medemblik. De klassementleiders voeren conservatief om overeind te blijven, terwijl anderen juist meer risico’s namen. Dit zorgde voor spectaculaire duels, waarbij menig boot omsloeg. Veel Olympiërs noemden deze Delta Lloyd Regatta ‘een goede training voor Beijing met een interessant einde’.

Anna Tunnicliffe (USA) and Gintare Volungeviciute (SLO) turned up heat in the final battle for the golden position.

22/5/2008
De competitie in de elf olympische zeilklassen was sterk op de tweede dag van de Delta Lloyd Regatta 2008 in Medemblik. De zwakke noordnoordoostenwind en de draaiingen maakten de tactiek soms lastig. De Yngling, Tornado, RS:X Mannen, Star en Laser Radial kregen nieuwe klassementleiders. Het Nederlandse trio Mulder/Faber/Witteveen gaat aan kop in de Yngling, onlangs een verloren protest. Verder ligt Dorian van Rijsselberge nog op een zilveren koers bij de RS:X mannen.
Lastige zeilcondities eerste dag Delta Llloyd Regatta 2008
21/5/2008
Op woensdag 21 mei 2008 ging de 24ste Delta Lloyd Regatta met lastige zeilcondities van start. De matige oostenwind draaide naar het noordnoordoosten en varieerde sterk. Dat zorgde in sommige klassen voor wisselende resultaten, terwijl andere topzeilers juist constante resultaten neerzetten. Zo gaat de Amerikaanse Anna Tunnicliffe met twee eentjes en een tweede plek aan de leiding in de Laser Radial. De Nederlander Dorian van Rijsselberge, reeds in het bezit van een volle nominatie, voert na twee zeges het RS:X klassement aan. Bij de RS:X vrouwen haalde Marina Alabau (ESP) dezelfde score. Het oranjeduo Mitch Booth en Pim Nieuwenhuis staat eerste bij de Tornado’s.
Tricky conditions on firsdt day Delta Lloyd Regatta 2008
21/5/2008
On Wednesday May 21st 2008, the Delta Lloyd Regatta started with tricky conditions on the IJsselmeer (Netherlands). The moderate eastern breeze shifted to the north-northeast and was very variable. That caused fluctuating results in some of the classes. Other competitors were consistent in the top, like Laser Radial sailor Anna Tunnicliffe (USA) with two bullets and a second. Dutchmen Dorian van Rijsselberge leads with two wins in the RS:X and so does Marina Alabau (ESP) in the women fleet and Gasper Vincec (SLO) in the Finn. Yngling trio Schuemann/Bleck/Hoepfner (GER) leads with a series of 1-1-3.
