Laser Standard - World Championship 2016 - Nuevo Vallarta MEX - Final results

The Laser Standard World Championship in Mexico was concluded yesterday with two races sailed in a moderate seabreeze.

Jean-Baptiste Bernaz FRA defended the Silver Medal and the best of the day (ranks 1 and 3), Rutger Van Schaardenburg NED, jumped from rank 8 on rank 3. Matthew Wearn AUS missed a medal by 2 points. The Laser legend Robert Scheidt BRA dropped on rank 10. Chris Barnard USA is 27th, Robert Davis CAN 31st.
