Former ISAF Youth Silver medalist Paul Snow-Hansen and New Zealand Starling champion Jason Saunders won the New Zealand 420 National Championships last weekend in Napier. Second was Francisco Lardies and Finn Drummond, with Alexandra Maloney and Bianca Barbarich-Bacher in third place, also ranking as both the top female and the top youth combination. Former World Champion 470 sailor Simon Cooke achieved fifth place, sailing with Scott Illingworth.
23 sailors raced, and competition was described as fierce – heat wins were shared amongst a number of the top sailors, and while Snow-Hanson and Saunders secured a clear 12 point margin over the silver medalists, only five points separated the next four places.
