Krystal Weir prepares for her return to top level Laser Radial competition

The Australian Sailing Team’s Krystal Weir is preparing for her first Laser Radial World Championship since 2007 as the former World Champion continues her return to class at the 2010 Laser Radial World Championship in Largs, Scotland, later this week. Weir had two years away from the class as she represented Australia in the Yngling class at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and then tried her hand in the RS:X class throughout 2009 and has so far had a strong return to the Laser Radial class. In her return to the Laser Radial in Holland in May Weir finished fifth in a highly competitive fleet and backed the result up with a sixth place finish in Kiel, Germany in June. “My preparations have been going well, my coach...

Krystal finishes 6th in Kiel Week Germany ISAF Grade One

Krystal finishes 6th in Kiel Week Germany ISAF Grade One. This years Kiel Week started off as your typical windy yet cold regatta. It was a slow start for the Radial race course as the race committee had trouble setting the marks, so after an hour of mucking around and all of us just sitting and waiting in the cold we were off. We got three great races in, I finished the day with a 7,2 and should have been one but I decided to do an extra lap. So for the worlds all courses will be permanently written onboard my boat. It was a good lesson for me. For the next couple of days Fletch got very good at towing me out to the race course...

Australian Institute of Sport Base Camp Italy

Currently at the AIS Base in Varese, Italy for a team Fitness Camp before I head to my next ISAF Grade One event in Kiel, Germany.  After Holland Regatta I had a small break heading south to Pompei and Naples to do some touring and time away from training before hitting the gym in the North.  Over the past week I have been gyming twice a day x1 Cardio and x1Weights with Head AIS Strength and Conditioning Coach Julian and Mike Plush AIS Physiotherapist overseeing my program.  It has been great to mingle in with other sports, Womens Water polo have been demonstrating the ICOOL for us while the Mens U23 Canoeing team pushed me out onto Lago di Comabbio in an extremely tippy canoe. I only made...

Australian Sailing Team Media www.sail-world.com

by Craig Heydon 5:36 AM Mon 31 May 2010 Krystal Weir powered home in the Laser Radial fleet, finishing the medal race in fourth position to move up to fifth overall in her return to the class. It was a great fight back from Weir who found herself rounding the top mark last on the second beat. Weir was still at the back of the fleet at the bottom mark and then headed to the right of the course which paid off as she moved through the fleet to fourth at the finish. 8:26 AM Sun 30 May 2010 After two years away from the class Krystal Weir’s great return to the Laser Radials continued as she finished with a seventh and a hard fought fourth to remain sixth...

Krystal finish's 5th in her first ISAF Grade One- Holland Regatta

Hi All, I have just finished Holland Regatta in Medemblik and for my first big international regatta I just couldn’t be happier with my result. I ended up 5th overall just putting some pressure on the front girls. We had a large range of conditions from 15knots + to drifting 3knots. I have always loved competing in Holland, minus the cold… it is a cute town, happy people and loads of bicycles. We had a great support next work with us at this event and it definitely showed. The Australian Sailing Team was so successful with 2 Golds, 1 Silver and 2 Fifths…so the whole team was in the top 5. Fletch and I feel this is a great start to my campaign towards London with only...

Olympic hopes Press Release

Sunday, May 23, 2010 She comes all the way from Australia, helmed the Aussie Yngling at the Olympic Games of 2008 in Qingdao and is back in her Laser Radial. Krystal Weir finished seventh in yesterday’s race. “I just came back into it”, she says. “A seventh place is nothing special, but I am learning how to get off the line again. We have a couple of days here and then we continue with the Delta Lloyd Regatta.”She used to sail the Laser Radial before she replaced Yngling skipper Nicky Bethwaite, who broke her arms just before the Games. Weir and her crew finished tenth in China, where-after she jumped into the RS:X for a year. “It was a new challenge, as I didn’t windsurf before”,...

Krystal in Amsterdam

Well it has been one week since I left Australia for sunny Holland. I have been spending the past week trying to recover from jetlag and get myself ready for racing at my first event in Scheveningen at the North Sea Regatta. I have been staying with Renske and Pim my Dutch friends exploring Amsterdam, Ann Frank House and also there famous football stadium where I was able to see the making of the stage for the Toppers concert. The dutch are crazy for this concert where they dress up in everything over the top and enjoy sing-a-long songs…hmm interesting.  After a few days I was all ready to go out sailing but my boat was waiting in Rotterdam on strike till some important paperwork from...

Krystal Back in the Laser for London 2012

At the end of 2008, I announced at Sandringham Yacht Clubs “Meet the Olympians” function that I would be campaigning towards Gold in London 2012 in the Laser Radial. I have decided that it is time to jump back into the boat and begin campaigning.   Over the past year, I have taken time out to continue my studying at Sydney University Physiotherapy and also spent the summer learning how to race the RSX Olympic Windsurfer. My goal has always been to be an all round sailor and learning how to windsurf has helped form a different dynamic to my sailing. I am hundred percent positive that the time spent on the windsurfer and also the Yngling during 2008 will help me in my Laser Radial.   Recently, the...

Queensland Laser Camp

Over the past week I have been training up in Queensland at a joint Yachting Queensland and Yachting Australia Camp run by Fletch and Adrian with help from Ken Hurling. It was a great camp with onwater training, rig measuring and lectures on tactics and techniques. Full rig boys jumped back into the Radial to give all the Girls and Youth Boys come tough competition. Brisbane really provided the winds with 15-18knots everyday. The winds and chop of Morton Bay really has prepared me well for my first event in Europe, Holland Regatta at the end of May....
