10-01-2012: Eén van onze opdrachtgevers, architect Maarten Jamin, is wereldkampioen Ynling zeilen geworden in Australie. Maarten gefeliciteerd!
“Only three points today separated the first three boats at the end of a magnificent regatta on Sydney Harbour to decide the 2012 World Championship for the International Yngling one-design keelboat class, with victory going to defending champion, Maarten Jamin, from The Netherlands.
Jamin, a dual world champion in the three-crew keelboat, finished with 40 points, two points clear of fellow countryman Tom Otte on 42 points, with one point to third placegetter, Australian champion Michael Nash on 43 points. Nash had led the series going into the final race.
The demanding regatta comprised ten close and intensive races over four days in conditions that ranged from light and flukey easterly breezes to a full on north-easterly sea breeze on the final day.
Jamin and Nash went into the final day of competition equal on 30 points. In race nine, a second place to Nash and a fifth to Jamin put the Australian three points ahead going into the 10th and final race this afternoon.
But Nash and his crew of Mel Nathan and Greg Hartnett crashed to an 11th in the decider, costing them the World Championship. With only one discard race, Nash already had a 13th place and was forced to carry the 11th.
In contrast, Jamin, with Jaap Smolders and Menno Berens as crew, maintained his consistency with another 5th place in the final race, sufficient to give them the 2012 World Championship by two points.
Jamin sailed with a full inventory of Doyle sails, build for the Olympics but rarely sailed since. According to Jamin, being able to adapt them quickly to the changing conditions was key to being consistent en winning this title.

1. Maarten Jamin, NED, 40 pts
