Credit: Yesterday saw the start but unfortunately not the end of our quarter finals here in Stena Match Cup Sweden, due to a lack of breeze. As winners of the round robin we had the choice of competitors for our best of 5 matches quarter final and our decision was… Lotte Meldgaard Pedersen (DEN).
Our first prestart in about 10 knots saw a slight collision between Lotte and the umpire boat, resulting in the abandonment of that match, so a bit a wait around put us a race behind compared to the other quarter final matches taking place.
The next two races for us went really smoothly, winning the race at the start and sailing safe but extending to the finish. Although the breeze had built to a good 18 knots it’s next trick was unfortunately to shift 100 degrees and die away to nothing, so a day later we are now waiting for the men to finish their quarter finals before we go out to hopefully win just one more race and qualify through to the semi finals!
In the other quarter finals Skudina (RUS) and Groeneveld (NED) both won 3-0 and local hero Kjellberg (SWE) is beating last years champion Spithill (AUS) 2-1.
Fingers crossed for the breeze to stay in today!
