Nacra 17 Oceania Championships 2020: Final Results
Photo: Drew Malcolm / Nacra 17 Class Assoc, more at Nacra 17 fb. – The official report of the Class mentions a superior upwind speed for Riley Gibbs & Anna Weiss, the US team already showed a similar performance in the Panamericans where they displayed some incredible additional speed upwind. They clearly have a mode of their own as Tita-Banti or Besson-Riou managed to achieved in their peak.
Still some crews RET in last race, some like Lange-Carranza & the Outteridges did not even compete in the entire series, but a good indication for Gibbs & Weis and their chances to represent USA at Tokyo.

Official report sent by Nacra 17 Class Assoc:
Final Day Oceanias 2020
Riley Gibbs and Anna Weis (USA) used superior boats speed upwind in the flat water to narrowly win the Oceania Championship by three points from Zajac/Matz (AUT) and Gimson/Burnett (GBR). On a blustery final day the American’s got a 1, 3 battling tightly with the Austrians who scored a 2, 1 and won the regatta by three points.
Noting that this is just a warm up regatta, John Gimson and Anna Burnett opted not to sail the final race today to instead further focus on preparation for the upcoming worlds.
Also feeling good out of the Oceanias are the two Spanish teams in skiffs. Diego Botin and Iago Marra won the only 49er race of the day, while Tamara Echegoyen and Paula Barcelo had a 3rd and a 1st in their two races today, to win the championship by the greatest margin of the lot.
The World Championships begin racing on February 10th and run through the 15th
