Contents
Points were assigned based on the finishing position in each race (1 for first, 2 for second, etc.). The points were totaled from the top 9 results of the first 10 races, with lower totals being better. If a sailor was disqualified or did not complete the race, 11 points were assigned for that race (as there were 10 sailors in this competition). The top 5 sailors at that point competed in the final race, with placings counting double for final score. The sailor with the lowest total score won.
Caterina Romero from Peru dominated the regatta with wins in all but one race to celebrate the gold medal. Philipine van Aanholt from Aruba won a hard-fought battle against María José Poncell from Chile to get the silver medal, leaving the bronze medal to the rival. [1]
