Australian Team Claims 11 Metre World Championship VictoryMichael Lockley and his experienced Australian crew of Steve McConaghy, Tom Spithill, Mark Griffiths and Mal Richardson have claimed victory at the 11 Metre World Championship in Hankø, Norway.The team combined extensive experience and an impressive record of success at the highest levels of sailing to secure the World Championship title, delivering a standout performance against a strong international fleet.Interview with Steve McConaghy - 11 Metre World ChampionshipQ: You’re part of the Australian boat that is currently leading the 11 Metre World Championship going into the final day. How are you feeling?Steve: First of all, I’m not actually the skipper. We have co-skippers, Michael Lockley and Mark Griffith, with Mark steering the boat. This time around, I’m the tactician.I’ve done this event three times before, in 2004, 2005 and 2006, and we won in 2006. So, we’re hoping to defend our title from back then.We’ve got a different breeze direction today, coming from the north. I think it’s a thermal breeze coming off the land, so it’s all to play for. We’ve got a nine-point lead, so we want to play it safe and sail as well as we have over the previous days.We’re looking forward to a good challenge today.Q: What do you think is the reason you’ve performed so well in this tournament?Steve: I don’t know. I think maybe the design of the boat suits me. I like to have my head out of the boat, watching the competitors and watching the breeze. I really enjoy playing with the mainsheet and traveller, feeling the power and getting good starts.I’ve sailed 5.5 Metres here a lot, and I just can’t seem to get my head out of the boat! Maybe I perform better when my head is out of the boat, I guess.Q: Good luck today.Steve: Thanks very much. Cheers. ... See MoreSee Less
