This year marks the tenth anniversary of the World Ranking List. It was started as a bit of fun during the Worlds in 2005, so for a bit more fun we have compiled a list all the sailors who have amassed over 800 points or more into a leaderboard. There were 32 of them. However, six sailors also managed to exceed the magic 1,000 points figure. It is truly representative of outstanding achievement as there are 11 world or European titles between them. Every one is a champion.
