WE ARE HAVING WEBSITE ISSUES. THIS IS A BACKUP VERSION OF THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION MAY NOT BE CURRENT. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON GETTING THINGS UP TO DATE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE--ROGER 14/7/2010
WE CONGRATULATE THE NEW DELTA LLOYD IFDS WORLDS 2010 CHAMPION July 14th, 2010 THIERRY SCHMITTER (THE NETHERLANDS) WORLD CHAMPION 2.4mR An unbelievably exciting sailing day in Medemblik with ‘fireworks’ in the 2.4 fleet. Fantastic weather, and , at last, good wind varying from 20 – 30 knots. The best conditions you can wish for the last day of this Worlds. All options were still open since the lead pack sailors were so narrow in points. Thierry Schmitter was at his best with this wind. He sailed two fabulous races today and crossed the finish line as first in both races. Heiko Kroger fought back like a tiger, great as well , after the today's first race was still one point ahead of Thierry. After a rocket start of Thierry in the second race nothing could stop him from winning  his second World title in succession. Silver for Heiko Kroger (GER) , Bronze for Megan Pascoe (GBR) who also sailed an excellent Worlds by constantly sailing in the leading fleet. Canadian Paul Tingley was 4th overall and Damien Sequin (FRA) 5th. Full Information There are some Fantastic Photos by Sander Van Der Borch of the 2.4's in action.
John Ruf 2009 World Champion
John Ruf  USA	US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics’ John Ruf is the new 2.4 mR World Champion. Portsmouth, R.I. (November 5, 2009) – 2008 Paralympic Bronze Medalist John Ruf (Pewaukee, Wis.) clinched the 2.4 mR World Championship a day early today, with one race to spare. Ruf, a member of the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics’ (USSTAG), won the 44-boat, open fleet, beating 2008 Paralympic Gold Medalist Paul Tingley (CAN) and 2009 IFDS Disabled Sailing World Champion Thierry Schmitter (NED). Schmitter also won the 2009 2.4 mR National Championship last week at the same venue. Held at the Edison Sailing Center on Caloosahatchee River in Ft. Myers, Fla., the 2009 2.4 mR World Championship includes four days of competitive racing for the world’s best able-bodied and disabled 2.4 mR sailors. USA’s Carl Horrocks also clinched silver today, while the rest of the competitors have one more race tomorrow. “I’m in shock. I’ve never won a World Championship,” said Ruf. “It’s pretty humbling, knowing all those people on the trophy. It’s pretty impressive company to be in.” Ruf won three out of 10 races this week, and after dropping his two lowest scores -- an eighth and 11th -- Ruf’s worst finish was only fourth. He said he never once looked at the results board throughout the week, so he didn’t realize he mathematically had a chance of winning gold today. “I focused on taking one race at a time,” he said. read more
