In race six sailed today, at the top of the first beat Jose Fuentes led from Argyle Campbell ahead of Bermudan Tim Patton with Chris Busch third.
After the second beat Busch had taken the lead, Hardesty had climbed to 13th place and Smith was 18th. After the final lap Busch won from Dwyer/Beadsworth. Hardesty and crew were 12th, ahead of Jud Smith and that was enough to give them the title.
Hardesty was the pre-event favorite having won both Midwinters East and West. He won the 2008 US Mid-Winters East, ahead of 2006 Etchells World Champion Jud Smith and Andy Beadsworth, and then the Mid-Winters West, ahead of Tom Hughes and Chris Busch.
The final race win pushed Busch into second place overall, while for Jud Smith, the 2006 World Champion this was his seventh podium placings in Etchells World titles events. Peter Duncan, Tom Blackwell and Bill Barton were fourth overall. The first foreign team was from Ireland. Dave Dywer, Andy Beadsworth and Simon Fry were fifth overall, Beadsworth was the 2007 World Champion. In sixth place was Graham Bailey, Stephen Bailey and David Heritage.
The top Canadian result came from Hank Lammens, Dirk Kneulman and Dwayne Smithers who were eighth.
Kiwis Andrew Wills, Anatole Masfen and Alastair Gair were 14th. It was a disappointing regatta for the Australian Etchells fleets with their best result a 28th, from the 2004 World Champion Peter McNeill with crew David Gleadhill and Tom Woods.
The next Etchells World Championships will be held in Melbourne Australia in March 2009.
