PALMA MEDALS

Kiwi sailors claimed three medals at the recent Princess Sofia Regatta in Palma, including gold and bronze in the Finn class, to finish as the second-most successful nation at the event.

Andy Maloney won his first major regatta in the Finn class since switching from the Laser. Josh Junior was third. Alex Maloney and Molly Meech collected another silver in the 49erFX, following on from their second placing at February’s World Cup Series event in Miami.

The three medals saw New Zealand finish level with the United States as the second-most successful nations in Palma behind Great Britain, which snared eight medals.
