Sailor Rachael Betschart has concluded her highly impactful campaign at Foiling Week 2025 in Italy, securing a commendable 37th place overall in the competitive WASZP Fleet and narrowly missing a podium finish in the female category.
The world's premier event dedicated to foiling boats, the 12th edition of Foiling Week, brought together a record-breaking 131 registered athletes in the WASZP class alone. After twelve demanding races, Betschart, representing the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, finished with 246 net points. This is a strong performance in a fleet of 110 skilled international sailors, highlighting her ability to compete at a high level.
On the final day of racing, Betschart completed three more races, crossing the line in 24th, 49th, and 39th respectively. Despite these mixed results on the last day, her overall consistency and flashes of brilliance throughout the week, including a best individual finish of 12th earlier in the regatta, kept her firmly in contention.
While just off the overall female podium in 4th place, Betschart's participation and strong results in this highly competitive international event are a testament to her continued development as a prominent Bermudian sailor on the international stage.
