Ronstan Contender World Championship 2006

ISAF, Fremantle, Australia, 14 January 2006

Andrea BONEZZI of Italy is the new Ronstan Contender World Champion. He did enough in the two races on Friday to seal the World Championship title and does not need to sail the final race today, Saturday.


The worst he could finish with is nine points and Hamilton cannot beat that even with a win in the final race. This will be BONEZZI'S sixth Contender World title.

BONEZZI was third in the first race of the day with his closest rival for the championship, Marcus HAMILTON of Australia, safely behind him in fourth. Race winner was Ben HOLDEN of Briton with Paul GREEN of Australia second.

In the second race BONEZZI won to seal the title with Hamilton out of the reckoning in eleventh. Second place went to Simon MUSSELL (GBR), setting him up for a podium place if he can outsail Matt HOSIE (AUS) again in the final race on Saturday.

Behind BONEZZI, the battle is on for silver and bronze, with a number of sailors in contention.
