Britain’s Toby Bush and Kemmel Thorogood are 2022 International Cadet World Champions.
Not needing to sail the final race, the pair from Waldringfield SC, avoided any possible chance of picking-up a penalty by spectating the final race and the resolution of the podium places.
The final race (R12) was won by Australia’s Luca Groves and Adela Thomas to claim third place overall,
Groves and Thomas closed to within two points of Britain’s Will and Annabel Shepherd, who claimed second overall just three points short of champions Bush and Thorogood.
Fourth overall were Kiran Hirthe and Marc Swientek of Germany, fifth were Hamish Collingridge and Rhona Enkel of Britain and rounding out the top six . . . Evie McDonald and Jack Jones of Australia.
The Promo fleet was dominated by local competitors, with Harry Pilkington and Alex Ashbolt taking a four point overall victory ahead of Joshua Garner and Patrick Fowler, with Leo Church and Zachary Cross third.
Best placed British entry were 14th placed Gwen Thorogood and Josh Davidson.
The International Cadet 2022 World Championships were hosted by the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, Australia.

Held since 1967, with only the pandemic of 2020 causing a break, this is the first British victory since the 2016 win of Jamie Harris and Antonia Wilkinson in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
