AMBASSADOR HEIKO KRÖGER WINS GOLD AT SAILING WC

Sailmon and MAX Ambassador Heiko Kröger sealed gold in the 2.4m Norlin OD with a day to spare at the Allianz Sailing World Championships. Kröger has won all but two races so far in The Hague, with the German ensuring he will finish top of the podium with a bullet and two second-place finishes on Monday. It means he cannot be surpassed heading into the final day of competition in the Netherlands, with closest competitor Davide Di Maria (ITA) seven points behind.

Kröger won the day’s final race after closest competitor Di Maria won the first two before finishing fifth in the third as Kröger sealed victory. Di Maria could be joined on the podium by compatriot Antonio Squizzato, with the Italian now sitting third after posting finishes of second and third.
 
“Today was very tricky and very challenging because the wind went up and down,” said Kröger. “We had some major wind shifts and patches on the water and that was not easy to sail. My speed was pretty good and the conditions over the week were very good. For me it was a great week. Tonight I will have a drink or two.”
