Rodriguez wins Tutima J80 Worlds
J/80 sailing has exploded in Spain over the last two years, and the Spanish have shown just how quickly they have mastered the boat. After a near sweep of the 2007 Worlds in La Trinite, France, Spanish teams captured 1st, 3rd and 6th places at the 2008 Tutima J/80 World Championship sailed last week in Kiel Germany. Ignacio Camino Rodriguez with his crew of Alberdo Padron, Gomez Jose Luis and Armando Gutierrez aboard ESP 899 NEXTEL ENGINEERING sailed a nearly flawless series from start to finish to capture the world title. But their task was not easy. Runner-up Jeff Johnstone, USA, sailing with the all German crew of Henning Mittelmann, Bo Teichmann, and teenagers Stella Mau and Florian Fh, narrowed the gap to only 2 points after winning race #11 while Rodriguez suffered a black flag disqualification, which he was able to discard to preserve the victory.| 16 July 2008 | Event Website |
