"It has been a fantastic week of sailing and undoubtedly some of the best in my sailing career. Lake Garda is truly a special place for sailing with the cliff faces and picturesque scenery. The lake has not lived up to its reputation of strong wind this week but all the sailors have had a great time. It’s still a fantastic feeling to win the Tornado Championships, its number 7 now. I think it may be quite a while till some one beats that. This year was different, no Olympic or funding pressures, we just sailed because we love the boat and had a great time. This week has made it clear for me...I can announce my Olympic retirement, multihulls is my scene and I love sailing. The 49er just does not do it for me."

The 49er just does not compare to the Tornado.

Congratulations Darren on a fantastic achievement.
