ISAF Match Race Rankings - 17 June 2015

The ISAF Match Racing Rankings for 17 June 2015 have been released.

Taylor Canfield - ISV has regained World #1 in the Open and Anna Östling (née Kjellberg) - SWE has reached the #1 spot in the Women’s ISAF Match Race Rankings.

Open Rankings

Taylor Canfield (ISV) removes Ian Williams (GBR) from World #1 in the Open Rankings following his victory at the Congressional Cup.

Between them, the pair have shared World #1 since January 2012. Albeit Williams has held the spot for more releases, in recent months the position has gone to and fro and Canfield’s victory at the Congressional Cup, compared to Williams’ third places him back at the top.

Women’s Rankings

The ISAF Match Race Rankings work on a 24-month rolling system whereby competitors count eight events in total, four from the most recent 12 months and four from up to 24 months ago. Events contested within 12 months of each ranking release count for double.

As a result of this system Camilla Ulrikkeholm (DEN) loses several thousand points from an exceptional 2013-2014 season. Anna Östling (née Kjellberg) - SWE is the benefactor of the system as she moves to World #1.

Pauline Courtois (FRA) took the single women’s match racing gold in the current period, the ISAF Nations Cup Regional Final for Europe. As a result, she moves to World #8.

Runner up Klaartje Zuiderbaan (NED) moves to World #7.

Up next for the women’s match racers is the 2015 ISAF Women’s Match Racing World Championship. This acts as the first stop of the Women’s International Match Racing Series (WIM Series) where further points will be available throughout the year.
