 With just 2 races on the last day of the Fortaleza Formula Windsurfing Grand Prix it was all to play for.
The overnight windsurfing lead was held by Alberto Menegatti, however his position all but evaporated with a disastrous first race yesterday morning, when he finished 10th.
It was a competition that Gabriel Browne had actually owned from start to finish. Alberto needed a minor miracle in race 15 to reestablish the overall lead - a reversal of the positions in the previous race just may do it! Alberto led at the beginning - and Browne was down the fleet ; however the determined Brazilian fought back to secure first place on the last windsurfing leg. What a finish! Alberto had no choice but to be satisfied with second place and secured second in the overall windsurfing event. A wonderful performance from Steve Allen who managed a third place in the final race which guaranteed a final place on the podium. An exciting conclusion to a fantastic 2009 Windsurfing Grand Prix.
