Match Cup Sweden — 4/4 on day 2!

Thursday 2nd July, 2009

Just in from a great day of racing for us at our second day of Match Cup Sweden. The plan for the day was to complete the final four races of our round robin and after a wait onshore for the breeze to build we were soon out racing. Yesterdays racing left everyone quite close on points so every race counted with only the top four going through to the semis to be held on Saturday.

As a team we definitely improved from yesterday and with me getting slightly more used to helming the boats we were able to maintain speed much better both pre-start and on the course. Helping that though we started well today and lead round every mark in our races against Spithill, Kjellberg, Leroy and Barkow to finish the day with 4 wins out of 4 and advancing through to the semis in 1st.

Joining us in the semi finals are the teams of Kjellberg (SWE), Spithill (AUS) and Rahm (SWE) and as the winners of the round robin we get to choose who we compete against…..but you’ll have to check tomorrow to find out!
