ISAF World Match Race Rankings
France continues to dominate at the top of the ISAF World Match Race Rankings as Mathieu Richard and Claire Leroy hold on to the world #1 spots.

Both French skippers hold significant leads over their nearest rivals after an impressive start to their 2008 seasons. Their success is just the pinnacle of a very impressive performance from the French match racing team, who count a total of six skippers in the world top ten across the Open and Women’s Rankings. With wins at the ISAF Women’s Match Racing Worlds and most recently on the World Match Racing Tour, the French have set the benchmark for the 2008 season. Now it is up to the chasing pack to respond.
