Three New ORC World Champions Kiel, Germany: As if an intentional counterpoint to the light winds found during most of this week, the final day and final race of the 2014 ORC World Championship had strong gusty winds, alternating rain and sun, and the same steep choppy waves that are so famous for Kiel. In these conditions new champions were born and the remaining podium positions filled after nine races among the 151 entries from 19 countries in this event. In all, the podium was filled with teams from Italy, Germany, Estonia, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Sweden. On the strength of their domination of Class C and the Jurys dismissal of an attempt to re-open a protest last night against them and two dozen other entries, Giuseppe Giuffres Low Noise from Italy knew they had earned their third World title crown and did not have to brave the wind and rain today. While not quite as dominant in Class B as Low Noise was in Class C, Jaak Jogis X-41 Forte was in a similar situation last night when they too learned they won the title for their native Estonia and would have the day off. Corinthian Trophy winners among all-amateur teams in each class included Kai Maress Immac One4All (6th in Class A), Checkmate (Class B), and Team Pro4U (Class C). Class A 1.
