In a regatta held in conditions not unlike those for the Olympics in China, Estate Master Tactician Nathan Outteridge and crew Iain Jensen won the Delta Lloyd regatta by a solid 15 points against a strong fleet of 48 49ers.
Coach Emmet Lazich said “It’s an amazing start to their new partnership. Winning the regatta is not bad when they were aiming for a top 10. It’s a significant milestone too, since they both have qualified for the Australian Sailing Team for 2010, allowing them to focus on the worlds this year.”
Nathan now heads home for two weeks before flying to Porto Cervo in Italy with the rest of the Estate Master Sailing Team for the Farr 40 Worlds which begin June 24.
Then, Nathan and Iain go to Lake Garda for the 49er worlds, July 12 – 19.
